OASIS Enlists XML in War Against Terror
By Darryl K. Taft

The Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards 
(OASIS) Thursday announced the formation of a new technical committee to 
develop a universal global framework aimed at helping law enforcement 
agencies share criminal and terrorist evidence. In a move targeted at 
helping those agencies involved in the homeland defense effort, OASIS is 
putting its XML expertise to use for the cause of national security. The 
new technical committee is called the OASIS LegalXML Lawful Intercept XML 
(LI-XML) Technical Committee. OASIS officials said the consortium formed 
the new committee in response to mandates both in the United States and Europe

Anthony Rutkowski, an executive with VeriSign Inc., has been named chair of 
the LI-XML technical committee. He said governments and Internet access 
providers alike would benefit from the LI-XML effort to generate a standard 
XML schema for sharing information about terrorists.

OASIS has existing technical committees involved in other public sector 
activities, such as e-Government, and a Tax XML and LegalXML initiative. 
OASIS officials said the LI-XML technical committee would work with the 
organization's LegalXML Electronic Court Filing and e-Government technical 
committees, among others.
