OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards)
OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) is a nonprofit,
international consortium whose goal is to promote the adoption of product-independent standards for
information formats such as Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML),
Extensible Markup Language (XML), and
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).
Currently, OASIS (formerly known as SGML Open) is working to bring together competitors and
industry standards groups with conflicting perspectives to discuss using XML as a common Web
language that can be shared across applications and platforms.
OASIS sponsors XML.org , a non-profit XML Web portal. The goal of OASIS is not to create
structured information standards for XML, but to provide a forum for discussion, to promote the
adoption of interoperability standards, and to recommend ways members can provide better interoperability
for their users. OASIS has worked with the United Nations to sponsor ebXML, a global
initiative for electronic business data exchange. EbXML, whose goal is to make it easier for
companies of all sizes and locations to conduct business on the Internet, is currently focusing on
the specific needs of business-to-business (B2B) and
Internet security as it relates to XML.
