PKI Forum Continues Security Advocacy as an OASIS PKI Member Section.
OASIS announced the expansion of its Member Section Program to include the PKI Forum, a security advocacy group. The PKI Forum brings together technology and service providers, integrators and end-users to accelerate the adoption and use of Public-Key Infrastructure applications, digital certificates and other real world solutions, as well as to facilitate interoperability through multi-vendor testing of industry standards and educational outreach. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2002-11-05-b.html
UK e-GIF Publishes XML Schemas For Use in Local Elections.
XML Schemas for local elections have been published by the UK e- Government Interoperability Framework (e-GIF). They have been approved for use by the Office of the e-Envoy. The Schemas represent a UK adaptation of the EML Schemas developed by the OASIS Election and Voter Services TC and incorporate validation using Schematron. The distribution contains 33 XML Schema files and an overview document 'EML: Customisation for UK Local Elections.' http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2002-11-05-a.html
OASIS Technical Committee for Open Office XML File Format.
OASIS is forming a new 'Open Office XML Format Technical Committee'. The TC will create an open, XML-based file format specification for office applications. The proposed XML file format will support W3C Namespaces, and be suitable for office documents containing text, spreadsheets, charts, and graphical components. Deliverables include XML DTDs/schemas defining the vocabulary, constraints, and semantics of the XML file format. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2002-11-04-b.html
IETF Charters Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) Working Group.
The IESG has approved the charter for a new Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) Working Group. XMPP is an open, XML-based protocol for near real-time extensible messaging and presence; it is the core protocol of the Jabber Instant Messaging and Presence technology. The IETF WG will use existing XMPP drafts as a basis for work on XML streams (including stream-level security and authentication), core data elements, and namespaces. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2002-11-04-a.html
IBM Infoprint XML Extender for z/OS Supports XSL Stylesheets and XSL-FO.
IBM has announced new software to perform high quality printing of XML documents using XSL stylesheets and the XSL-FO vocabulary, using the existing AFP (Advanced Function Printing) support for z/OS. The Infoprint XML Extender for z/OS enables XML applications to be printed on AFP printers using standard XSL formatting. AFP is the de facto standard solution for mission critical business output in many large enterprises. http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2002-11-01-a.html
