Work Product Title: Biometric Identity Assurance Services (BIAS) SOAP Profile
(a) COS URI:

(b) COS URI (editable source):

(c) Certification by the TC that all schema and XML instances are well-formed
and that expressions are valid: We so certify
(d) A clear English-language summary of the specification: The BIAS SOAP
Profile
specifies XML encoded SOAP messages to exchange biometric data and perform
biometric-based identity operations. These SOAP-based services enable an
application to invoke biometric identity assurance operations remotely within
a
Services Oriented Architecture (SOA). BIAS is intended to provide a common,
yet
flexible, Web services interface that can be used within both closed and open
SOA systems. The BIAS SOAP Profile is a companion document to ANSI INCITS
442-2010 - Biometric Identity Assurance Services.
(e) Relationship of this specification to similar work:
The BIAS SOAP Profile is a companion document to ANSI INCITS 442-2010 -
Biometric Identity Assurance Services. The INCITS document defines the
general
architecture, requirements, operations, and data elements. The OASIS
document
specifies the SOAP binding/implementation of these operations.
The BIAS SOAP Profile both normatively and non-normatively references other
OASIS and non-OASIS standards.
The only other biometrics-related OASIS standard is XCBF. The BIAS SOAP
Profile
references the newer ISO CBEFF standard (ISO/IEC 19785).

Subject: [members] 15-day Public Review for Biometric Identity Assurance
Services (BIAS) SOAP Profile Version 1.0

The Biometric Identity Assurance Services (BIAS) Integration TC [1] members
have
produced an updated Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted this
specification for 15-day public review:
Biometric Identity Assurance Services (BIAS) SOAP Profile Version 1.0
Committee Specification Draft 04 /Public Review Draft 03
03 August 2011
Specification Overview:
The BIAS SOAP Profile specifies XML encoded SOAP messages to exchange
biometric
data and perform biometric-based identity operations. These SOAP-based
services
enable an application to invoke biometric identity assurance operations
remotely
within a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA). BIAS is intended to provide a
common, yet flexible, Web services interface that can be used within both
closed
and open SOA systems. The BIAS SOAP Profile is a companion document to ANSI
INCITS 442-2010 - Biometric Identity Assurance Services.
TC Description:
The OASIS BIAS Integration TC complements the efforts of the InterNational
Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS), www.incits.org, to
provide the biometrics and security industries with a documented, open
framework
for deploying and invoking identity assurance capabilities that can be
readily
accessed as services. The OASIS BIAS Integration TC defines and describes
methods and bindings by which the INCITS BIAS framework can be used within
XML-based transactional Web services and service-oriented architectures.
Public Review Period:
The public review starts Tuesday, 27 September 2011 and ends Wednesday, 12
October 2011. The specification was previously submitted for a 15-day public
review on 26 February 2011 [2]. This 15-day review is limited in scope to
changes made from the previous review.
Changes are highlighted in the diff-marked PDF file [3].
This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback from potential
users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of
improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work.
