"A group of security vendors will give the first public demonstration of the new Service Provisioning Markup Language for identity management at the Burton Group's Catalyst Conference July 9."
This is yet another *ML in the long line being developed at OASIS to support, among other things, web services data exchange between and among companies. The players involved in this standard include some of the biggest in Identity Management, including Waveset and Entrust. Conspicuously absent from the Provisioning Services TC, the group working on SPML are Identity Management companies Netegrity and IBM.
Easy exchange of identity and provisioning information will help companies extend their identity and provisioning frameworks to business partners and other outside companies and could ease integration work when companies merge.
If you're going to be at Catalyst, and have an interest in Identity Management, stop by the demo to get a better idea of how it will work.
