Members of OASIS this week announced plans to develop a global Web services framework to define a methodology for a broad-based,
multiplatform and vendor-neutral implementation.
The OASIS Framework for Web Services Implementation (FWSI) Technical Committee plans to design a template for Web services
deployment to enable systems integrators, software vendors, and in-house developers to build e-commerce solutions more quickly,
according to OASIS. The committee will define functionality for building Web services applications and service-oriented architectures.
Specifically, the committee will specify a set of functional elements for practical implementation of Web services-based systems.
At first glance, the OASIS project appears similar to the Basic Profile for Web services being set up by the Web Services
Interoperability Organization (WS-I). But the technical committee expects to complement WS-I, according to OASIS. Committee
member Sun Microsystems also is a major supporter of the WS-I Basic Profile. The committee plans to leverage applicable work
within OASIS and other standards groups.
OASIS FWSI Technical Committee include CommerceNet, IDA, Information Technology Standards Committee of Singapore, RosettaNet,
SIMTech, Sun, Center for E-Commerce Infrastructure Development (CECID) at the University of Hong Kong, Yellow Dragon, and
other OASIS members. Participation remains open to all organizations and individuals. OASIS will host a mail list for public
comment, OASIS said.
