RE: [ws-sx] new WS-SX work item for discussion

Colleagues

 

Our proposed work item (described below)
has been updated since our last meeting.  Attached is our latest draft for
your review.  This profile would address the standards gap identified by the
HITSP effort and serve as an underpinning for an interoperable world-wide
healthcare environment.  Thank you for your consideration and we
appreciate your support in adopting this effort as a work item at the next
meeting.

 

Kind regards,

David

Subject: [ws-sx] new WS-SX work
item for discussion 

 

All

 

I would like to suggest a work item for
the WS-SX for discussion at the next meeting.  

 

Those familiar with the government
healthcare sector know that HITSP has been tasked to identify standards
supporting the AHIC use cases.  HITSP has identified a need for a WS-Trust
profile that supports cross-enterprise security and privacy
authorizations.  We have started a draft profile and would appreciate the
comments of the TC. HITSP would like to see the profile balloted in OASIS so it
can be cited as a standard profile.  The government healthcare sector will
be required to adhere to the standards selected by HITSP, so this is an
important effort.   

 

-also-

 

We are staring an OASIS TC called the
Cross-enterprise Security and Privacy Authorizations (XSPA) TC and invite
members of the WS-SX to join.  The goal would be to collect the profiles
from groups such as WS-SX and piece them together in a complete profile that
supports the entire AHIC use cases. The XSPA profile would be demonstrated at
an Interop at the Healthcare Information and Management
Systems Society (HIMSS) early next year.

 

Regards,

David
