 - 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.
