TheOrganization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS;/oʊˈeɪ.sɪs/), also known asOASIS Open, is anindustry consortium that developstechnical standards for information technology.
Entrance of the OASIS office at Burlington, Massachusetts.
OASIS was founded under the name "SGML Open" in 1993. It began as a trade association of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) tool vendors to cooperatively promote the adoption of SGML through mainly educational activities, though some amount of technical activity was also pursued including an update of theCALS Table Model specification and specifications for fragment interchange and entity management.[2]
In 1998, with the movement of the industry toXML, SGML Open changed its emphasis from SGML to XML, and changed its name to OASIS Open to be inclusive of XML and reflect an expanded scope of technical work and standards. The focus of the consortium's activities also moved from promoting adoption (as XML was getting much attention on its own) to developing technical specifications. In July 2000 a new technical committee process was approved. With the adoption of the process the manner in which technical committees were created, operated, and progressed their work was regularized. At the adoption of the process there were five technical committees; by 2004 there were nearly 70.[citation needed]
During 1999, OASIS was approached byUN/CEFACT, the committee of theUnited Nations dealing with standards for business, to jointly develop a new set of specifications for electronic business. The joint initiative, called "ebXML" and which first met in November 1999, was chartered for a three-year period. At the final meeting under the original charter, in Vienna, UN/CEFACT and OASIS agreed to divide the remaining work between the two organizations and to coordinate the completion of the work through a coordinating committee. In 2004 OASIS submitted its completed ebXML specifications toISO TC154 where they were approved asISO 15000.
The consortium has its headquarters inWoburn, Massachusetts, shared with other companies. In December 2020, OASIS moved to its current location, 400 TradeCenter Drive. Previous office locations include 25 Corporate Drive Suite 103 and 35 Corporate Drive, Suite 150, both in Burlington, MA.[4]

These characteristics make it ideal for use in many situations, including constrained environments such as for communication inmachine to machine (M2M) andInternet of Things (IoT) contexts where a small code footprint is required and/or network bandwidth is at a premium.
oBIX — open Building Information Exchange, an extensible XML specification for enterprise interaction with building-based (or other) control systems, including HVAC, Access Control, Intrusion Detection, and many others.
OpenDocument — OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications, an open document file format for saving office documents such as spreadsheets, memos, charts, and presentations.
OSLC — Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration, (OSLC) develops standards that make it easy and practical for software lifecycle tools to share data with one another.
PKCS #11 - PKCS #11 standard defines a platform-independentAPI tocryptographic tokens, such ashardware security modules (HSM) andsmart cards, and names the API itself "Cryptoki" (from "cryptographic token interface" and pronounced as "crypto-key" - but "PKCS #11" is often used to refer to the API as well as the standard that defines it).
SAML — Security Assertion Markup Language, a standardXML-based framework for the secure exchange ofauthentication andauthorization information.
SARIF - Static Analysis Results Interchange Format, a standardJSON-based format for the output ofstatic analysis tools.
SDD — Solution Deployment Descriptor, a standardXML-based schema defining a standardized way to express software installation characteristics required for lifecycle management in a multi-platform environment.
SPML — Service Provisioning Markup Language, a standardXML-based protocol for the integration and interoperation ofservice provisioning requests.
