The SPML 1.0 specification is built on the OASIS Directory Services Markup Language v2 specification, although it is focused on provisioning. Additionally there is a relationship, although not an overlap, between SPML 1.0 and federated identity standards, such as Project Liberty. The SPML 1.0 specification support identifying principles using the OASIS Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and Project Liberty standards. Additionally, the SPML 1.0 specification has been designed to accommodate the use of the OASIS Web Services Security (WSS) specification, XML Digital Signatures, and XML Encryption. The SPML 1.0 specification has been approved as an OASIS Committee Draft by the OASIS Provisioning Services Technical Committee and will soon be submitted to the OASIS membership at-large for voting as an OASIS Standard.
