Representatives from Nokia, Oracle and IBM have joined
the Organisation for the Advancement of Structured Information
Standards' (Oasis) board of directors.
Frederick Hirsch of Nokia, Jeff Mischkinsky of Oracle and
Michael Weiner of IBM were elected to fill three seats created
through the recent expansion of the Oasis board.
The 11-member board also includes representatives of companies
such as Hewlett-Packard, BEA Systems, Microsoft and Sun
Microsystems.
Oasis oversees several standards fundamental to web services,
including XML and UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery, and
Integration). The directors' terms will expire in 2005.
