## Definition[edit | edit source]

* OASIS is a not-for-profit, global consortium that drives the development, convergence and adoption of e-business standards.

(DSchneider would add "not just e-business", e.g. document standards are useful to the whole world ...)

## OASIS standards[edit | edit source]

### XML/SGML Document standards[edit | edit source]

* DITA
* Docbook
* OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC

### XML[edit | edit source]

* Relax NG: The best XML schema language there is. XML Schema may be great to formalize complicated webservices or database schemas, but its overkill for most needs. DTDs, on the other hand lack some power.

### Other[edit | edit source]

* Lots, e.g. various webservices
