Why did PLCS, Inc choose to transition to OASIS?
The members of PLCS, Inc. planned to close the corporate entity after 31 October 2003 in accordance with their membership agreement. PLCS, Inc. has placed all remaining intellectual property rights (IPR) in the OASIS public domain. PLCS, Inc. believed that the range of existing projects managed by OASIS strongly compliments its own aims and objectives. Forming a Technical Committee within OASIS helps bridge the gap between the business and the product/product support domains. Membership of OASIS extends the number and range of organizations with access to future areas of development. OASIS membership also provides opportunities for application of XML and Web Services to many of the product lifecycle system standards.
