OASIS CAM TC

OASIS Content Assembly Mechanism (CAM) TC

The vision of the CAM work is for describing machine-processable information content flows into and out of XML structures so as to normalize the semantic dispersion between information points and the associated processing systems. The purpose of the OASIS CAM TC is to provide such a generalized assembly mechanism using templates of business transaction content and the associated rules. These templates augment and enhance schema structure definitions with context driven business rules so that accurate information content can be produced consistently. The CAM approach also integrates with metadata semantics and particularly with registry storage of vocabularies of metadata. A compliant CAM processor is thereby able to provide documentation of information exchange formats, validation of transaction instances and runtime creation of valid transaction documents.

An executive brochure is available that explains CAM in more detail and provides a technology overview. A tutorial on creating CAM templates is also available.
