AGENDA
Davvid RR Webber, XML Global
The CAM presentation will cover the topic of Content Assembly
Mechanisms and detail the OASIS work of the CAM TC to date.
Examples include OAGI BODs, OASIS UBL and xCBL structure assemblies.
Since CAM is designed to be simple and intuitive attendees should
expect to gain enough information to begin creating their own CAM
template scripts for their own business domains.
Also discussed will be the broader implementation details of using
CAM in tandem with W3C schema and RELAX NG with the advantages and
benefits highlighted. The role of CAM in deploying semantic registry
solutions and webservice / ebXML implementations will also be detailed.
Further information on CAM can be found at the project
SWIKI: http://cam.swiki.net and the main OASIS website
http://www.oasis-open.org
David Webber is chair of the OASIS CAM TC, and the OASIS/CEFACT
ebXML JMT. http://drrw.net

The Global XML Web Services Architecture (GXA) initiative is a
protocol framework designed to provide a consistent model for
building infrastructure-level protocols for Web services and
applications. In addition to this underlying protocol framework,
GXA defines a family of pluggable infrastructure protocols that
provide applications with commonly needed services such as security,
reliability, and multi-party agreement. GXA provides a set of common
facilities that are needed by a wide number of Web services and
applications, built on the foundation of XML and SOAP. Some of the
specifications released to date include:
WS-Security - Provides a security language for Web services;
enhances SOAP messaging with credential exchange,
message integrity, and message confidentiality
WS-Policy - A general-purpose specification describing how to
express enterprise security policies
WS-Routing - Describes mechanisms for routing SOAP messages
without the need to rely on underlying transport
mechanisms.
WS-Transaction. Adds transactional/coordination capabilities to Web
services
WS-Inspection. Provides a means for flexible discovery of Web services,
regardless of the mechanism used to describe them (WSDL, UDDI, etc.)
This presentation will provide an overview, history, and future of the
GXA initiative, as well as a brief overview of each specification
that comprises GXA.
