Why OASIS and Semantic Web Services?
OASIS & Semantic Web Services
OASIS is where convergence happens OASIS has history of applying foundational
methods from W3C and others to building accessible standards for practical eBusiness methods
OASIS has a history of successfully hosting converging efforts
e.g., WSDM and the recently-submitted GGF and Globus work
OASIS & Semantic Web Services OASIS is where the use cases are
OASIS hosts the two dominant standardized methods for SOA data discovery, UDDI and ebXML Registry -- both actively exploring semantic method interfaces
OASIS has over 14 TCs working on web services work, including the core methods for:
service management, security, access control and transactional contracting and negotiation
OASIS & Semantic Web Services OASIS is where the use cases are
Semantic Standards (RDF, OWL) and emerging specs (WSMO, WSMX) need to be integrated into actual e-Business frameworks, many of which are developed through OASIS
OASIS creates composable, modular standards that can be aggregated into recognizable e-Business functions
CDC Epidemiology demos in Fall 2003 SAML and WS-Security access and security demos in
early 2004 etc.
OASIS Technical Committees & Semantic Web Services UDDI Specification TC
OWL as the UDDI Taxonomy Language
ebXML Registry TC Semantic content registries provide a federated
registry for the semantics of schemas, ontologies, and applications. Moving towards an OWL/RDF vision
Product Life Cycle Support TC Manufacturing lifecycle ontologies soon to
be OWL ready
Semantic Web Services Architecture Dynamic Service Discovery Service Selection and Composition Negotiation and Contracting Semantic Web Community Support
Services Semantic Web Service Lifecycle and
Resource Management Services
OASIS Opportunities with Semantic Web Services
Discussion on new TC for practical eBusiness applications of SWS
Liaisons with other WS TCs and Semantic TCs (DITA, Topic Maps)
Liaisons with industry consortia (RosettaNet, HL7, AIAG, ACORD, ISM, HR-XML, OAGi, OGC, WfMC, …)
“Clearly, the time to forge a common framework based on Semantic interoperability standards and e-Business web services standards is now.” Patrick Gannon,
CEO and President, OASIS“Adaptive Information: Improving Business Through Semantic Interoperability, Grid Computing & Enterprise Integration”
– Book Forward
What is OASIS Saying about Semantic Web Services?
Web Services Standards: OASIS
is Leading the Way for
Widespread Adoption
Dependencies for Web Services Deployment
Advances & coordination in infrastructure standards: security, reliable messaging, transactions, business process and management
Collaboration on implementation standards for specific communities and cross-industries
Maturity of key security standards
User demands for compatibility
Standards developed through an open and neutral process
Approved OASIS Standards for Web Services
UDDI: Universal Description, Discovery & Integration
Defining a standard method for enterprises to dynamically discover and invoke Web services.
WSRP: Web Services for Remote Portlets Standardizing the consumption of Web services in
portal front ends. WSS: Web Services Security
Delivering a technical foundation for implementing integrity and confidentiality in higher-level Web services applications.
OASIS Web Services Infrastructure Work14+ OASIS Technical Committees, including:
ASAP: Asynchronous Service Access Protocol Enabling the control of asynchronous or long-running Web services.
WSBPEL: Business Process Execution LanguageEnabling users to describe business process activities as Web services and define how they can be connected to accomplish specific tasks.
WS-CAF: Composite Application FrameworkDefining an open framework for supporting applications that contain multiple Web services used in combination.
WSDM: Distributed Management Defining Web services architecture to manage distributed resources.
OASIS Web Services Infrastructure Work
WSN: Notification Advancing a pattern-based approach to allow Web services to disseminate information to one another.
WSRM: Reliable MessagingEstablishing a standard, interoperable way to guarantee message delivery to applications or Web services.
WSRF: Resource FrameworkDefining an open framework for modeling and accessing stateful resources.
Standardizing Web Services Implementations For communities and across industries: ebSOA: e-Business Service Oriented Architecture
Advancing an e-business architecture that builds on ebXML and other Web services technology.
FWSI: Framework for WS Implementation Defining methods for broad, multi-platform, vendor-neutral implementation.
oBIX: Open Building Information Xchange Enabling mechanical and electrical systems in buildings to communicate with enterprise applications.
Translation WS Automating the translation and localization process as a Web service.
Identifying End User Solutions
OASIS e-Government TCProviding a forum for governments internationally to:
Voice needs and requirements Recommend work for relevant OASIS TCs Create best practice documents, Promote the adoption of OASIS specs/standards within
Governments
OASIS Standards for Security SAML: Security Services
Defining the exchange of authentication and authorization information to enable single sign-on.
SPML: Provisioning Services Providing an XML framework for managing the allocation of system resources within and between organizations.
XACML: Access Control Expressing and enforcing authorization policies for information access over the Internet.
XCBF: Common Biometric Format Providing a standard way to describe information that verifies identity based on human characteristics such as DNA, fingerprints, iris scans, and hand geometry.
WSS: Web Services Security Advancing a technical foundation for implementing integrity and confidentiality in higher-level Web services applications.
AVDL: Application VulnerabilityStandardizing the exchange of information on security vulnerabilities of applications exposed to networks.
OASIS Security Work DSS: Digital Signature Services
Defining an XML interface to process digital signatures for Web services and other applications.
PKI: Public Key Infrastructure Advancing the use of digital certificates as a foundation for managing access to network resources and conducting electronic transactions.
Rights Language Defining digital rights for resources that include digital content and Web services.
WAS: Web Application Security Creating an open data format to describe Web application security vulnerabilities, providing guidance for initial threat and risk ratings.
Compatibility and Convergence
Industry groups call for a migration/convergence path for WS, ebXML, and related standards.
Web services enters phase where business requirements and measurable interoperability drive standards development and convergence.
User participation in standards drives convergence that will prevail over centrifugal pull of competitive positions.
Open Standards Process: Essential to WS Adoption
Enables collaboration Assures fairness Provides for transparency Embraces full participation Ensures a level playing field for all Prevents unfair first-to-market
advantage for any one participant Meets government requirements
OASIS Open Process
Hosts a variety of projects to standardize methods from multiple groups
Encourages convergence but does not mandate it
Provides fair data about projects being standardized, but doesn’t pick winners
Web Services Standards: Leading the Way for Widespread Adoption Advances in infrastructure standards--security, transactions,
messaging, managementOASIS is the home for a very significant portion of this work.
Collaboration on implementation standards for & across industriesCommunities define standards & identify requirements at OASIS.
Maturity of key security standardsThe majority of these are work products of OASIS.
User demands for compatibilityUser requirements drive OASIS development.
Standards developed through an open and neutral process OASIS enables open collaboration, providing for fairness, transparency, and full participation from vendors, users, and governments.
