RE: DRAFT Revised Charter

["Munter, Joel D" <joel.d.munter@intel.com>]

Lisa,

Can you please provide the final ebXML Registry Services Specification v1.0 Issues Log.  Is there a similar issues log for the OASIS Draft Registry/Repository Technical Specification v1.1?  If so, please send that too.  Were ebXML RIM Issues separated out in a separate document?

Joel

Name 
of the TC: OASIS ebXML Registry and Repository Technical Committee (Reg/rep 
TC)

Statement of Purpose

The OASIS ebXML Reg/rep TC develops 
specifications to achieve interoperable registries and repositories for 
XML-related entities, with an interface that enables submission, query and 
retrieval on the contents of the registry and repository.  Further, the 
Reg/rep TC seeks to develop specifications that serve a wide-range of uses, 
covering the spectrum from general purpose document registries to real-time 
business-to-business transaction registries.  
Additionally, as part of 
its specification development work, this TC explores and promotes various 
emerging models for distributed and cooperating registries. 

The TC's 
efforts fosters compatibility across specifications developed in other forums, 
specifically furthering the work that was accomplished in the ebXML Registry and 
Repository Project Team.  (Further information on the ebXML initiative can 
be found at http://www.ebxml.org. )

As part of its 
effort to develop specifications, this TC will:
--Address requirements raised 
by committee members and by the joint OASIS-UN/CEFACT Requirements and Technical 
Architecture Committees;
--Proactively engage with related activities in 
external forums, and 
specifically:

        

-create 
a recognized liaison with ISO 
11179;

        

-create 
a recognized liaison with 
UDDI;

        

-create 
recognized liaisons with appropriate W3C activities and Working Groups to 
include the XML Query Working Group and the

  

        

XML 
Protocol Working Group;
--Coordinate TC activities with other technical 
committees and work groups operating within OASIS and UN/CEFACT; 
and
--Develop future versions of the OASIS/ebXML Registry Specifications with 
consideration of related technologies adopted by other 
forums.


Technical Committee Deliverables: 

Unlike newly formed 
OASIS ebXML TCs that are based solely on existing ebXML work, the Reg/rep TC can 
be considered a merging of two complimentary efforts.  As such, the OASIS 
ebXML Reg/rep TC will revisit the requirements of both committees in an effort 
to incorporate the compatible vision and goals of both OASIS and ebXML (reg/rep 
committees).  The OASIS ebXML Reg/Rep TC will use the ebXML Registry 
Information Model Version 1.0, the ebXML Registry Services Version 1.0, and the 
OASIS Draft Registry/Repository Technical Specification, Version 1.1 as starting 
points for Phase II work.  The TC's base documents will be the ebXML 
specifications; however much of the OASIS Draft Registry/Repository 
Specification will be considered candidate material for inclusion.  The 
ebXML Reg/rep Issues list will be used as the starting point for this TC's 
Issues list and will be used to generate specific technical priorities.  

This TC will develop Technical Specifications, Technical Reports and 
White Papers as appropriate.  Technical Reports and White Papers will be 
used to explain the motivation, uses, and implementation issues of the Technical 
Specifications.  Initial White Paper candidates include existing use cases 
and query examples.

The list of deliverables is summarized 
below:
--Registry Information Model, initial draft 2, first quarter, 
2001.
--Registry Services Specification, initial draft 2, first quarter, 
2002.
--Registry information Model, final draft 2, third quarter, 
2002.
--Registry Services Specification, final draft 2, third quarter 
2002.
--Technical Reports will be drafted as appropriate.
--White Papers 
will be drafted as appropriate.  

The TC will conduct its business 
in English.

Lisa Carnahan (US NIST) is the current chair.
