Abstract:  The WS-Calendar specification adapts the existing specifications for  calendaring and apply them to a new specification for how schedule and event  information is passed between and within services. The standard adopts the  semantics and vocabulary of iCalendar for application to the completion of  web service contracts. WS Calendar builds on work done and ongoing in The  Calendaring and Scheduling  Consortium (CalConnect), which works to increase interoperation  between calendaring systems, and the Internet Engineering  Task Force (IETF).
The specification describes how to specify a sequence of services, how to  schedule them, and how to invoke them. The specification was developed to  support use cases in smart grids and smart energy, but it supports any sort  of coordinated activities between domains. The committee explicitly  considered coordination between energy coordination, enterprise systems,  building systems, and financial markets.
The WS-Calendar specification also defines a conforming model for inheritance  to reduce duplication of expression when similar services are requested in a  recurring schedule.  TC Description:  The OASIS Web Services Calendar (WS-Calendar)

Technical Committee  was chartered to adapt the existing specifications for calendaring  and apply them to develop a standard for how schedule and event  information is passed between and within services. The standard  should adopt the semantics and vocabulary of iCalendar for  application to the completion of web service contracts.
Notification List:  Notes: Since the last review, numerous minor edits have applied across the  document, and numerous things that were unclear have been made clearer. Of  more substance, the REST and SOAP comunications services were removed from  the specification as they were not ready at this time. The TC work plan is to  bring them back in as part of a later vrsion of the specification
