OGC and OASIS Announce Progress on StandardsCooperation

The groups point to Web services as a key area of their cooperation. OGC members approved the ebRIM (electronic business Registry Information Model) OASIS Standard as the preferred cataloguing meta-model foundation for future application profiles of the OpenGIS Catalog Service Web (CS-W) Standard.

In the security space, the recently approved OGC GeoXACML standard represents a spatial extension of the XACML (eXtensible Access Control Markup Language) OASIS Standard. GeoXACML was developed in close collaboration with the OASIS XACML Technical Committee.

OGC also plays an active role in the OASIS Emergency Management Technical Committee. This committee developed the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) and Emergency Data Exchange Language (EDXL), OASIS Standards. OGC members helped define a GML application very similar to GeoRSS GML for use in CAP and EDXL, as well as in other specifications under development including the Extensible Address Language (xAL), and Hospital Availability Exchange (HAVE).

The OGC's Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) standards reference CAP and other relevant OASIS alerting standards including the OASIS Web Services Notification (WS-N) and Asynchronous Service Access Protocol (ASAP) specifications. The OGC works with OASIS to harmonize these standards with the SWE specifications.
