March 11, 2003 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Not-for-profit global e-business standards consortium the OASIS interoperability consortium (OASIS-open.org) announced plans this week to define a standard way of using Web services architecture and technology to distributed resources.
The new OASIS Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM) Technical Committee will align its work with related activities at other standards groups, including the World Wide Web Consortium, Web Services Architecture Working Group and the Distributed Management Task Force and other OASIS security and Web service efforts.
"As the number of Web services deployed across the extended enterprise increases, the ability to effectively manage those services will become critical to building out a comprehensive services-oriented architecture," said Winston Bumpus of Novell, co-chair of the OASIS WSDM Technical Committee. "By collaborating with other ongoing industry standards activities in this area, this new technical committee will play an important role in defining how services should be managed."
