Welcome
by Program Chair Karl Best, OASIS |
| 9:15-10:00 |
Overview of XBRL
International, an Interoperability Summit sponsor
Eric Cohen, PWC |
|
XBRL International and its role
in interoperability, including background on XBRL
International, XBRL's support for interoperability, XBRL GL,
the link between transactions and business reporting, XBRL's
taxonomies, and a means of reusing XBRL International's
content within other organization's standards |
| 10:00-10:45 |
Report on the Standards
Registry Metatadata project
Karl Best, OASIS; Chair of Standards Registry committee |
|
Update and status of the
Standards Registry Metadata project (the StdsReg committee),
first discussed at the first Interoperability Summit. The
goal of the project is to define a common metadata that can
be used to describe standards efforts. By providing a means
for standards organizations to consistently describe their
work other SDOs and potential users can find out about
existing standards, which will promote interoperability and
collaborative development efforts, as well as adoption of
standards. |
| 10:45-11:00 |

| 11:00-11:45 |
Business case of
interoperability in e-business
Victor Pawley, Australia National Office for the Information
Economy |
|
The purpose of this paper is to provide some background and
context to the recent workshop held by the National Office
for the Information Economy (NOIE) on Interoperability and
to outline potential projects developed at the Workshop.
These projects are based on common business infrastructure
problems that require collective and inclusive solutions.
Input is sought from industry (refer to Expressions of
Interest on page 3) as NOIE finalises the scope of the
projects and puts together project teams to take these
issues forward. |
| 11:45-12:30 |
XML standards for
interoperability between court filings and electronic
commerce
Dr. Laurence Leff, Western Illinois University |
|
The presentation will discuss
proposed XML standards and software which give legal meaning
to XML in business-to-business electronic commerce. These
provide a smooth interface between these trading partners
and either the courts or arbitration agencies. The goal is
to find high-level interoperability between XML-enabled
Court Filing and the standards being developed by the Legal
XML group on one hand and standards for electronic commerce
being developed by other groups inside and outside of Oasis. |
| 12:30-1:30 |
Lunch |
| 1:30-2:15 |
Report on interoperability in
ISO TC68/SC4 and ANSI X9 financial services
Sandra
Dinetz, ISO TC68/SC4 and ANSI X9D |
|
This presentation describes the
scope, mission statement and goals, progress to date, next
steps, industry liaisons, etc. of the ISO TC68/SC4 15022 XML
Working Group 10 Steering Committee and X9D, the securities
sub-committee of ANSI's X9 Financial Services Committee. |
| 2:15-3:00 |
SPML (Service Provisioning
Markup Language) and the importance of it within the
security infrastructure framework for eBusiness
Gavenraj Sodhi, Business Layers |
|
How does SPML (Service
Provisioning Markup Language), currently being developed
within OASIS under the PSTC (Provisioning Services Technical
Committee), fit as an important component for standardizing
and simplifying the interoperability of systems requiring
identity information including provisioning systems to
resources within the eBusiness environment? This
presentation will cover the importance of this standard and
how applications, such as eProvision Software by Business
Layers, will incorporate SPML and look to other key evolving
standards such as SAML (Security Assertions Markup
Language), XACML (eXtensible Access Control Markup
Language), and XKMS (XML Key Management Specification) for
interoperability and collaboration to complete the security
infrastructure framework the end user has been asking for. |
| 3:00-3:15 |

| 3:15-4:00 |
Interoperability Challenges in
the U.S. Deptartment of Defense
Ron Dorman, U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency |
|
DISA recently implemented a major
re-organization with a strong focus on interoperability. The
former Center For Standards (DoD's Executive Agent for ICT
standardization) was combined with the Joint
Interoperability Test Center to form the Interoperability
Directorate. This presentation will discuss the
interoperability challenges that DoD faces (warfighter and
business operations), our new approach to data standards
("Market Driven Approach"), and our need to
collaborate with the private sector in finding better
solutions. |
| 4:00-4:45 |
SAP's Exchange
Infrastructure
Sinisa Zimek, SAP Labs |
|
The Exchange
Infrastructure is SAP's Messaging and Collaboration Platform
for integration of legacy with new open standard apps which
are Java and XML-based. This presentation will discuss the
usage of XML-based standards in the exchange infrastructure,
putting
stress on real-world challenges from SAP clients as an
example to present appropriate standards solutions. |
| 4:45 -
5:30 |
Interoperable
Standards for the Telecom e-Commerce
Jenny Huang, AT&T Labs |
|
The Telecom industry
is facing special challenges in developing interoperable
e-business infrastructures. As most existing e-commerce
approaches have focused on delivery physical goods. Telecom
Service providers deliver telecommunications services that
place additional requirements on e-commerce solutions such
as assurance, SLA agreements, pricing packages and volume
discount offers. This presentation will review the Telecom
e-commerce challenges and the efforts placed by the
TeleManagement Forum (TMF), with other industry groups, to
resolve the problems.

Day 2: Friday,
June 28
|
|
|
| Chair: Ms. Karen D.
Larkowski, Executive Vice President, The Standish Group |
|
The purpose of the second day's program is to explore these
initiatives. It is not assumed that there is one best approach to
building a broad library of base business documents. Nor is it
assumed that only one library will meet all needs. However,
clarification of the goals, timelines, and scope connected with the
work of these groups would be beneficial for the entire e-business
standards community. The Interoperability Summit provides a
multi-lateral, neutral venue where this information can be shared
and opportunities for convergence and synergies between these groups
can be explored.
| 9:00-9:15 |

| 9:15-10:00 |
The Universal Business Language (UBL)
Jon Bosak, Distinguished Engineer at Sun Microsystems and
Chair of the OASIS UBL Technical Committee |
|
UBL is an open effort to increase
interoperability in electronic commerce by standardizing
generic business messages. Its deliverables include an XML
library of standard data components; a set of basic business
schemas (purchase order, invoice, shipping notice, etc.); and
a mechanism for the extension of the basic schemas to operate
in specific business contexts. UBL builds on the ebXML
initiative to establish a common framework for electronic
commerce and uses the OASIS technical committee process to
provide a publicly accountable, open, royalty-free forum for
the development of the standard schemas. This presentation
will explain UBL and describe its current status. |

| 10:30-11:15 |
Distributive ebXML
Jay Ayres, CEO of Global TradeDesk Exchange |
|
Distributive ebXML is a technology to facilitate
interoperation where an Organization can share/broadcast their
CPP information directly with Trading Partners and prospects
directly over broadband or wireless link.
This enables businesses to form a virtual circuit within a
region where they can all interoperate with each other doing
electronic business using Open Standard UBL Messages.
The potential of this technology is that each company could
fill their registry with the CPP data from thousands of other
businesses from their local area and all they would need to do
is to leave their computer switched on - connected to a
Broadband or wireless link. Trials of this technology are
already underway in Tampa Florida with further trials set to
take place in Malaysia and Singapore in the near future. |
| 11:15-12:00 |
ANSI Accredited Standards
Committee X12 XML Convergence Initiatives
Ralph Berwanger
Ambassador to Standards for bTrade, Inc., Vice Chair of ANSI ASC X12 |
|
This presentation addresses solutions to the
growing dilemma of multiple XML vocabularies for e-business.
The ANSI Accredited Standards Committee X12, composed of a
broad range of business domain experts who have been
developing business vocabulary for 30+ years, may be part of
the answer. ASC X12 members assemble cross-industry resources
to amplify the efforts of the XML development groups and they
are committed to harmonizing the business vocabulary. They can
preserve vertical-specific vocabularies and at the same time
accomplish cross-industry integration and leverage existing
legacy systems as necessary. More importantly, ASC X12 has
defined a working relationship, via its Convergence and
Outreach Task Group, that preserves the integrity and
independence of those participating. |

Lunch |
| 1:00-1:45 |
Modeling Enterprise Collaboration
Cory Casanave, President of Data Access Technologies |
|
The OMG has recently adopted the Enterprise
Collaboration Architecture (ECA) as part of the UML for EDOC
set of specifications. ECA describes how to model enterprise
collaborations with UML and use model driven development to
implement collaborative business processes using a variety of
middleware technologies. |
| 1:45-2:30 |
MDA: The One Road to Global Integrated Business
Process Management
Manfred Koethe, 88Solutions Corporation |
|
This presentation will summarize the recent
efforts of creating PIMs for the process definition and
execution part of Business Process Management. Obviously, EDOC,
SPEM and UML-2 play important roles in this game. Mr. Koethe
will show how mappings to existing BPM or workflow standards
can be derived from the PIMs, how the same mapping technology
can be applied to build bridges between existing business
process management domains and he will give an outlook to new
generations of business process management systems. Finally,
he will conclude with the message that this Model Driven
Architecture (MDA)-style route is to current understanding the
most promising (and probably the only successful) road to
achieve Global Integrated Business Process Management. |
