Welcome

• A few words about me
• I am the chair of the Transformational
  Government Framework Technical Committee. I am
  also the chair of the OASIS eGov Member Section
  and chair of the OASIS Technical Committee on
  e-voting standards. I am also a past Director of
  OASIS.
• I spent the majority of my career working on
  the development of ICT systems, policies,
  strategies and procedures for central and local
  government in the United Kingdom.
• I worked in the Office of e-Envoy (and
  subsequently the Cabinet Offices e-Government
  Unit) where I was the Director of Technology,
  responsible for the UKs e-Government
  Interoperability Framework (e-GIF) and other
  e-government and e-voting technical policies and
  standards.
• I took early retirement from the UK Civil

OASIS Overview

• OASIS is a member consortium dedicated to
  building systems interoperability specifications
• Main focus is on applications of structured
  information standards (eg XML, SGML) but
  increasing focus on adoption of standards
• Members of OASIS are providers, users and
  specialists of standards-based technologies
• Include organisations, individuals, industry
  groups and governments
• More than 500 member organisations, 1000s
  individuals
• Global, Not-for-profit, Open, Independent
• Successful through industry and government wide
  collaboration

  standardisation bodies, eg ISO, UN/CEFACT, CEN,
  W3C, etc.

Working Arrangements

• Technical Committees are set-up by OASIS members
  to deliver a specific piece of work and then,
  usually, close down.
• The Transformational Government TC seeks to
  produce an overall framework for using
  information technology to improve the delivery of
  public services through better citizen engagement
  to assure greater use and return on investment.
• Member Sections are created when a collection of
  OASIS Members recognize a particular need or
  common goal and are willing to commit to work on
  that need over an extended period.
• The eGovernment Member Section serves as a focal
  point for discussions of government and public
  administration requirements for e-business
  standardization.
