How long has OASIS been serving the community?
OASIS was founded in 1993 as SGML Open. Originally, it functioned as a community of vendors and users dedicated to advancing the development of guidelines for interoperability among products that supported the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). In 1998, the organization’s legal name was changed to OASIS Open to reflect an expanded scope of technical work, including the Extensible Markup Language (XML) and other related standards.
