OASIS

Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards

OASIS is a global nonprofit consortium that drives the development, convergence, and adoption of open standards for the information society. Founded in 1993 as SGML Open, OASIS produces some of the most widely deployed standards in the world, including SAML (federated identity), DocBook (technical documentation), OpenDocument (ODF — office document format), AMQP (messaging), DITA (technical publishing), and a large family of cybersecurity, privacy, and emergency-management standards. OASIS standards are developed through an open, multi-stage process: Committee Specifications → Candidate OASIS Standards → OASIS Standard (the normative, ratified form).

IndustrySyntax OASIS identifiers are slug-based with inconsistent internal structure (spec name + version + approval stage + part + label, in varying order). The PubID schema preserves the exact printed slug verbatim in `original` (which alone drives `to_s`); the remaining component fields (spec, version, stage, part) are best-effort decomposition for relaton querying and may be nil.

Structured elements that make up a OASIS identifier:

Publisher

OASIS — omitted when with_publisher=false

e.g.OASIS

Original Slug

The exact slug printed after 'OASIS ' — always set, drives to_s. Lossless round-trip regardless of decomposition.

e.g.OSLC-CoreShapes-3.0-PS01-Pt8

:original

Spec

Best-effort spec name fragment (e.g. 'OSLC-CoreShapes', 'saml-core'). May be nil.

e.g.saml-core

:spec

Version

Best-effort version fragment (e.g. '3.0', '2.0', 'v1.3'). May be nil.

e.g.2.0

:version

Stage

Approval stage fragment (e.g. 'PS01', 'CS01', 'OS', 'COS', 'Errata01'). May be nil.

e.g.PS01

:stage

Part

Part label fragment (e.g. 'Pt8', 'Part1', 'part0'). May be nil.

e.g.Pt8

:part

PubID Algebra 3

Relationships between OASIS identifiers:

Relation	Description	Syntax	Example
Full Slug	Publisher + verbatim slug (lossless round-trip)	`OASIS <original>`	`OASIS saml-core-2.0-os`
Without Publisher	Bare slug form (no 'OASIS ' prefix)	`<original>`	`saml-core-2.0-os`
Stage Lifecycle	Slug encodes stage (PS01 → CS01 → OS → Errata01)	`<spec>-<version>-<stage>`	`OSLC-CoreShapes-3.0-PS01`
