Claude -
Actually, the work of the IETF pre-dates anything being done in this area
by OASIS, the OGC, or OMA. The original SIP Internet RFC dates back to 1999. SIP
has been extended since then and there are a number of companion RFC's related
to presence, events, and so forth. And while PIDF and PIDF-LO are working their
way through the IETF process, I think that it is excellent that OMA is building
on the work of other standards organizations rather than re-inventing the wheel.
Further, the PIDF-LO draft leverages the work of the OGC - uses GML 3.1.
Kind regards
Carl

Specification that may be highly relevant to EDXL work. Check it out.
It
is amazing how many ways and terms we can find to abstract
roles and subscriptions so we can have yet another locus of
control based standard.
Standards and speeches: the full time consultant
economy.
Personally rooting for the DHS ontology efforts to tie it all
together.

I dug around the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) site - actually
looking for standards info OASIS can use as part of their EDXL work.
Reviewed a document titled OMA-TS-Presence_SIMPLE-V1_0-20050427-C. The intro
paragraph states:
The document defines an application level specification for
the OMA SIP/SIMPLE-based Presence Service. It defines the presence
information semantics for presence information conveyed using the Presence
Information Data Format (PIDF) the Rich Presence Information Data Format
(RPID) and geographical information conveyed in a GEOPRIV location object
(see [PIDFLO]) specified by the IETF in conjunction with the overall
Presence Data Model defined in
[PRESDATAMODEL].
