The eight-year-old Web Services Interoperability Organization (WS-I) is going to fold its assets, operations and mission into a special Member Section of OASIS, the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards. The move is expected to take a few months. In the name of best practices WS-I developed a set of Web Services Profiles, Sample Applications and Testing Tools. OASIS is supposed to assume ownership and maintenance responsibility for these Profiles and continue to make them available. It's also supposed to be responsible for any maintenance that the published Profiles and other materials may require. OASIS Technical Committees will be formed to maintain the three profiles and do the testing activity.
