OASIS Web Services Security TC (WSS) Approves Committee Draft
Specifications.
Five documents approved as Committee Draft specifications by the OASIS
Web Services Security (WSS) TC are being submitted for consideration
as OASIS standards. The main CDs include "Web Services Security: SOAP

IBM and X-Hive Present XML Schema API as a W3C Member Submission.
IBM and X-Hive have submitted an "XML Schema API" to W3C. The
specification provides API access to properties of the XML Information
Set, and is implemented in Apache Xerces2 Java Parser. The document
defines interfaces allow ing developers to access the XML Schema
components which follow as a consequence of validation and/or
assessment, a set of interfaces for accessing the PSVI from an
instance, and a set of interfaces for loading XML Schema documents.

Operational Version.
The U.S. Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global) and
Office of Justice Programs (OJP) have released the first operational
version of the Global Justice Extensible Markup Language (XML) Data
Model (GJXDM) Version 3.0 to the justice community. More than 50 law

OASIS Members Form XRI Data Interchange (XDI) Technical Committee.
A new OASIS XDI Technical Committee has been created to define a
generalized, extensible, location-, application-, and transport-
independent service for sharing, linking, and synchronizing data over
the Internet and other data networks. XDI supports the creation of a
"dataweb" using XML documents and XRIs (Extensible Resource
Identifiers), a URI-compatible abstract identifier scheme defined by
the OASIS XRI TC. XDI TC deliverables are to be royalty-free.

Approved OpenLS Specification Supports Interoperable Location Service
Applications.
The OpenGIS Consortium (OGC) has approved the Location Services
(OpenLS) Implementation Specification for public release. OpenLS
defines access to the Core Services and Abstract Data Types (ADT) that
comprise the GeoMobility Server, an open location services platform.
Core interfaces are defined for accessing directory services, route
determination, location determination gateway, geocoding, reverse
geocoding, and portrayal services using standard Web protocols.

"Web Services Security Spec Moves Toward Approval. OASIS Braces for
Membership Vote." By Paul Krill. In InfoWorld (January 27, 2004). WS-
Security, a widely supported proposal for securing Web services, could

"XML in Yukon: New Version Showcases Native XML Type and Advanced Data
Handling." By Bob Beauchemin. In Microsoft MSDN Magazine (February
2004). The next version of Microsoft SQL Server, code-named 'Yukon,'
adds native XML data storage to the database management system (DBMS)
through a new native XML data type. The introduction of this native
XML data type, coupled with the emerging industry standard XQuery
language, should spark a revolution in database application
development.

"OWL Web Ontology Language: Parsing OWL in RDF/XML." By Sean Bechhofer
(University of Manchester). W3C Working Group Note. 21-January-2004.

"Use XInclude to Synchronize WSDL with Source Schemata. Importing the
Payload Format for Document/Literal Message Descriptions." By Uche
Ogbuji (Principal Consultant, Fourthought, Inc). From IBM
developerWorks. January 22, 2004. This article shows how to use
XInclude to incorporate external schema fragments into a WSDL file.
XInclude is simple and is supported by many XML tools. It is a handy
tool for many situations, and can certainly help improve the
maintenance of document/literal style WSDL documents.

"A Standards-Based Registry/Repository Using UK MOD Requirements as a
Basis." By Paul Spencer (with OASIS TC Members). Version 0.3 (draft).
January 22, 2004. 13 pages. This paper is the result of a joint study
by Paul Spencer and three OASIS Technical Committees -- the ebXML
Registry TC (regrep), the Content Assembly Mechanism (CAM) TC and the
e-Government TC. It considers whether and how the standards being
developed by the regrep and CAM TCs can help meet the needs of the
MOD, and wider Government needs, for managing schema components.

"Lightweight XML Search Servers." By Jon Udell. In XML.com (January
21, 2004). The author demonstrated a browser-based technique for
searching XHTML/CSS content using XPath. I've been using a variation
of this technique on my weblog. In the spirit of this lightweight
browser-based solution, he creates an equally lightweight server-based
version based on Python and libxml2/libxslt.

"Learn XForms Today: XForms Institute." By Micah Dubinko. In O'Reilly
ONLamp.com (January 18, 2004). Readers have asked for a gentler

"Software Patents 'Threaten Linux'." By Clark Boyd and Bruce Perens.
In BBC News, UK Edition (January 23, 2004). Open source advocate Bruce
Perens tells BBC technology correspondent Clark Boyd why the real
threat to Linux and the open source movement is not from the SCO
lawsuits, but from software patents. Perens: "We're looking at a
future where only the very largest companies will be able to implement
software, and it will technically be illegal for other people to do
so."

"Next-Generation E-Forms." By Jon Udell. In InfoWorld (January 23,
2004). E-forms provide a more accurate, intuitive replacement for
paper forms than plain HTML forms or antiseptic data entry screens.
Common to all the vendors' approaches is the use of XML as the bridge
between applications that gather data from end-users and the back-
office systems that absorb that data.

"SAML Tops Federation Projects Survey." By Dave Kearns. In Network
World (January 09, 2004). Ping Identity, sponsor of the SourceID Web
site, recently surveyed folks who downloaded its open-source Liberty
Alliance tool kit. SAML is the transport mechanism for the Liberty
Alliance proposals, and one of the allowed transports for WS-
Federation, but it appears that a number of projects are working
directly with SAML and by-passing the 'higher' layers of the two
competing standards.

[Apropos of Localization:] "GDP by Language." By Mark Davis
(President, The Unicode Consortium; IBM Corporation). Unicode
Technical Note #13, Version 1 (first public version). 2003-01-22.
While English is a major language, it only accounts for around 30% of
the world Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and is likely to account for
less in the future. Neglecting other languages means ignoring quite
significant potential markets.

"Microsoft Seeks XML-Related Patents." By David Becker. From CNET
News.com (January 23, 2004) Microsoft applies for patents that could
prevent competing applications from reading documents created with the
latest version of Office. XML capabilities have been one of the main
selling points for Office 2003. The patents could create a barrier for
competing software, such as future versions of OpenOffice and
StarOffice, from working with Microsoft's XML format.

"Microsoft Justifies Its XML Patent Moves." By Mary Jo Foley. From
Microsoft Watch (January 23, 2004). Microsoft's Not-So-Secret Plot to
Overthrow XML? Microsoft is seeking to patent XML interoperability
technology around Word. The company claims it isn't seeking to derail
XML. And it denies that its patent moves contradict its decision last
fall to open up its XML schemas for Word, Excel and InfoPath. Is
Microsoft within its rights to seek protection for technology that
rides above the XML standard? Or is this just another example of
Microsoft seeking to monkey with standards?

especially slide #9, "From OGSI to WSRF:Refactoring and Evolution."
"... Despite enthusiasm for OGSI [Open Grid Services Infrastructure
(OGSI) Version 1.0], adoption within Web community turned out to be
problematic. The solution: WSRF partitions OGSI version 1.0
functionality into a family of composable specifications, tones down
the usage of XML Schema, and makes an explicit distinction between the
'service' and the stateful 'resources' acted upon by that service.
