------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: SPACE-XML Meeting in NYC 8/8/01 From: Theharvey3@aol.com To: adxml-discuss@lists.oasis-open.org Date: Fri, 03 Aug 2001 16:44:28 -0400 (EDT) Y'All: Excuse the delay, the details circulated in limbo for a couple of days. If you're in the NYC (or really up for a last minute ride on a plane), your invited to observe, discuss and participate in the next SPACE-XML meeting. This will give y'all a very clear picture of what the NAA/Idealliance/DDAP/MPA folks are doing. A word of caution: We have an incredible amount of new stuff to go through. After the meeting (either immediately or in a conference call) we can get the key people for each group together to talk about collaboration and working together, but that's for later, not during the meeting. I don't have a second draft of the SPACE schema to distribute. Intersect, which is doing the authoring got a list a mile long of things to change, add and modify. They will have the document at the meeting and we'll all get to see it in gory detail at the same time. The SPACE XML meeting is scheduled for August 8 in New York City starting at 9:00 am. There's not a set ending time, but last time the meeting ended around 3:00 pm. The meeting will be at: August 8, 2001 @ 9:00am The Wall Street Journal 6th Floor 1155 Avenue of the Americas New York, NY 10036 The Wall Street Journal Contact: WSJ Contact: Doug Stoughton 212 597-5613 If you wish to join us, please respond to this email by writing to Georgia Volakis at gvolakis@gca.org as to your attendance plans. If you have any questions, please let me know; otherwise, I'll see you on the 8th. The agenda follows my signature block. Thank you. -- Jim James E.

Please know we keep our mailing lists for technical discussions, and while I asked that you comment back to the list if you were interested in further discussions, I would typically discourage such lightweight banter from our lists. Everyone gets too much email as it is, and I will work to ensure that any mail you receive from an OASIS mail list is legitimate to our organizational mission. OASIS lists are closed lists, we filter aggressively for spam, will remove spammers instantly and we never make our lists available to others. That said, now a quick update on what is next: - The SPACE folks are working to make their most recent work available on the web for review. - We are trying to make some initial meeting plans, more to follow. - If you know of any companies, agency representative groups etc that you feel may have an interest in this project, let me know. Ultimately, the goal of these opening efforts is to bring together a collaborative effort of users, developers and implementers to form an OASIS Technical Committee. The OASIS Technical Committee process was chosen as proven grounds for similar collaborations that can deliver results-both technical results and adoption of the work when completed. Committee membership is open to all OASIS members, OASIS membership is open to anyone wishing to support our efforts. The work of OASIS, the OASIS Technical Committee process as well as descriptions of other TCs and existing OASIS members can be found at www.oasis-open.org Stay in touch...

Well, this is your chance to spread the influence of adXML and join an effort to merge the online media strengths of adXML with the work of another group that has been working on other advertising media insertions. The groups responsible for SPACE, Specifications for Publisher Agency Communications Exchange, wish to begin discussions that may lead to working with you and collaborating on a unified set of standards that work for all media. SPACE represents five years worth of study and presents a lot of detail on the print advertising insertion and order process. This teamed with AdXML very well could be a great win-win situation for advertisers, media outlets, agencies and the technology firms supporting these industries. Interested? Post your positive responses and questions to adxml-discuss@lists.oasis-open.org Don't know if you should care about this? Stay tuned to the discussions on this list.

You have been subscribed to this discussion list by your previous request to participate in adXML. The adXML organization is shifting their participation to OASIS to bring a larger perspective to their work and ensure global recognition of adXML. You can unsubscribe from this list by following the directions at the end of this message, but first, read further to learn more about adXML, OASIS and the benefits of participation in this discussion and the following OASIS Technical Committee. Your input to the discussion is important. About adXML adXML is an effort to bring the benefits of XML-enabled platform-independent communication and e-commerce to advertising media order placement and management. adXML is an XML specification of the type of information that is passed between a purchasing and selling agent of advertising media inventory. adXML addresses both the worlds of online and off-line (e.g., print, magazines, TV) advertising. In the online world, an Internet publisher that has advertising inventory to sell could receive an adXML document via E-mail, FTP, or HTTP rather than via FAX in various formats. The adXML electronic document provides the publisher with all the information required to get the advertising up and running. In fact, that publisher could use other Internet technology to completely automate the processing of adXML documents. The off-line media world gains similar benefits of open, structured communication, the resulting machine-to-machine communication capability and enabling technology to manage routine communications. adXML seeks to address the inefficiencies that burden much of the advertising industry, and enable simple e-commerce technology to replace the fax as the primary means to place and manage advertising orders. The goal of this discussion group and the following OASIS Technical Committee is to bring together a wide collaboration of users and technology providers to develop the adXML DTD to a point where it reflects the needs and views of many concerned parties across the advertising industry. The DTD will be used freely and openly in electronic communication of advertising order placement and management. The resulting open standard will support the use of the Internet to communicate between platforms, systems and people an agreement about how advertising inventory will be used. Thus it can result in cost and time saving due to automation. About OASIS OASIS is an open, international, not-for-profit, member consortium that builds and maintains industry-standard specifications for interoperability. Nearly 200 of the world's leading organizations using and developing XML enabled e-commerce are currently members. With this broad range of membership, OASIS offers unparalleled access to leaders in the XML community, shared knowledge and experience. The OASIS technical process is designed to involve many and prevent dominance by a few. In working with OASIS, adXML is assured their work will be accepted as a product of the OASIS Technical Process and therefore be recognized and trusted. OASIS Technical Committees gain instant credibility with the media and their marketplace, an important first step to widespread adoption. By our involvement worldwide, OASIS is adXML's advocate in reducing standards redundancy and fragmentation. Our goal is to bring all interested parties together in the same discussion. As a member of OASIS, adXML Technical Committee members are able to collaborate with other Technical Committees that may have an impact on their business- Security Assertion, Business Transactions Protocol, etc. The OASIS organization and infrastructure are supported by member dues. Ultimately, members of this discussion can join the OASIS Technical Committee either as a formal committee member or as a subscriber to the Technical Committees discussion list. The only requirements of participation in the OASIS Technical Committees are to be an employee of an OASIS Member organization or an Individual member of OASIS and, of course, to participate! You can learn more about OASIS, the OASIS Technical Committee Process and how to join OASIS at www.oasis-open.org Benefits of Participation When all is said and done, adXML will reflect the input of the participants. As a participant, you have input into the specification, you are close enough to ensure your product development will work with the next specification. If having input into the final specification is important to you, if knowing being close enough to the process so you can guide your product development in parallel is important, if being viewed as a major player in this effort is important to you, than you should participate. Anyone who can benefit from enabling electronic communication of advertising placement has a stake in the development and use of adXML, be that software developers or users. How to Participate Your comments and questions about adXML, i.e. how w it can be used, what it all means, can it, will it, should it, etc . can all be mailed to adxml-discuss@lists.oasis-open.org.
