!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([OASIS]) is a global consortium that works on the development, convergence, and adoption of e-business and [Web Service] standards.
[{$pagename}] is headquartered in the [United States], a trade association of [SGML] tool vendors to cooperatively promote the adoption of [SGML] through mainly educational activities, though some amount of technical activity was also pursued including an update of the CALS Table Model specification and specifications for fragment interchange and entity management.
In 1998 [SGML] Open changed its emphasis from [SGML] to [XML], and changed its name to [{$pagename}] Open to be inclusive of [XML] and any future structured information standards. The focus of the consortium's activities also moved from promoting adoption (as [XML] was getting lots of attention on its own) to developing technical specifications. In July [2000|Year 2000] a new technical committee process was approved. With the adoption of the process the manner in which technical committees were created, operated, and progressed their work was regularized. At the adoption of the process there were five technical committees; by [2004|Year 2004] there were nearly 70.
During [1999|Year 1999] OASIS was approached by UN/CEFACT, the committee of the United Nations dealing with standards for business, to jointly develop a new set of specifications for electronic business. The joint initiative, called "[ebXML]" and which first met in November [1999|Year 1999], was chartered for a three-year period. At the final meeting under the original charter, in Vienna, UN/CEFACT and [{$pagename}] agreed to divide the remaining work between the two organizations and to coordinate the completion of the work through a coordinating committee. In 2004 [{$pagename}] submitted its completed [ebXML] specifications to ISO TC154 where they were approved as [ISO 15000].
