Welcome to OpenSPML.org—a Web site dedicated to the promotion and distribution of an open source client code that supports the Service Provisioning Markup Language (SPML) developed by the OASIS Provisioning Services Technical Committee (PSTC). OpenSPML is a cooperative initiative by independent software vendors and implementers of the SPML version 1.0 specification. Initially developed in Java™, the OpenSPML client code is expected to be available in other languages in the near future. For more information, read the SPML FAQ.
The Provisioning Services Technical Committee (PSTC) has been formed under OASIS to define an industry standard around the Service Provisioning Markup Language (SPML), an XML-based expression syntax for the query and exchange of user, account and resource provisioning requests.
Service provisioning refers to the "preparation beforehand" of IT systems' materials or supplies required to carry out a specific activity. It goes beyond the initial "contingency" of providing resources, to encompass the entire lifecycle management of these resources. This includes the provisioning of digital services such as user accounts and access privileges on systems, networks and applications, as well as the provisioning of non-digital or "physical" resources such as cell phones and credit cards.
If you are interested in learning more about SPML, please see the following complimentary whitepaper from the Burton Group
SPML: Gaining Momentum and Maturity
In this Burton Group Technology & Standards document, Analyst Mark Diodati discusses the Service Provisioning Markup Language (SPML) protocol, its adoption progress and barriers, and the differences between the v1 and v2 specifications. Additionally, Diodati discusses potential use cases.
