Sun and Oracle will participate in BPEL at OASIS - as well as Choreography at W3C

BPEL seems to be benefiting from a groundswell of support; last month it was SAP and Intalio (founder of BPMI.org and so grandfather of the W3C effort). Sun says it is "committed to working with both the W3C and OASIS to achieve alignment between these two efforts".

In a gesture to find common ground, the W3C choreography working group last month extended an invitation to the chairpersons of the OASIS BPEL technical committee to attend the W3C's first face-to-face meeting this summer.
