What are the prime purposes of the OASIS e-Government TC?
• To provide a forum for governments internationally to voice their needs and requirements with respect to XML-based standards; • To provide a mechanism for the creation of good practice documents relative to the adoption of OASIS specifications/standards and other related standards within Governments internationally; • To promote the adoption of OASIS specifications/standards within Governments. This could include the creation of implementation-oriented pilot projects, involving software vendors and participating government agencies, to demonstrate the use of OASIS specifications/standards; • To work with other OASIS channels and other international standards bodies’ channels (e.g. XML.org for schema registry and/or information portal), acting as a clearinghouse for information related to applicable specifications/standards as well as activities and projects being conducted by Governments in the adoption of XML-based systems and standards.
