XML News Standards Summit

News Standards Summit Invitation

NewsML, NITF, PRISM, RSS, Atom, ICE, XMP, XHTML... As interest builds for standardizing news dissemination, concern also grows that specifications are being developed in isolation. How do they fit? Where will they converge? How can developers and users collaborate to identify gaps and overlaps and ensure their systems will be able to interoperate now and in the future?

OASIS invites you to find the answers in a one-day News Standards Summit to be held Monday, 8 December 2003, in conjunction with XML 2003 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.

The News Standards Summit will bring together major players -- experts on news metadata standards as well as commercial news providers, users, and aggregators. Together, we will analyze the current state and future expectations for news and publishing XML efforts from both the content and processing model perspectives. Our goal -- to increase understanding and drive practical, productive convergence.
