NIST's Role
NIST/ITL is working with the
Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards
(OASIS), an industry consortium for defining specifications for the discovery
and retrieval of XML-related documents and for developing a conformance
testing framework. Through the OASIS/ebXML Registry Technical Committee
(RegRep), NIST/ITL influences the quality, correctness, and testability of
registry specifications. Through the OASIS/ebXML Implementation,
Interoperability and Conformance Technical Committee (IIC), NIST/ITL
facilitates the creation of interoperable ebXML infrastructures and
applications by developing a conformance testing framework. The testing
framework will provide a unified approach to developing tests for all ebXML
specifications. This unified approach to testing ebXML Messaging Services,
Registry, and other ebXML specifications will save development resources
and provide a uniform test design and reporting format.
