Solution Deployment Descriptor version 2.0 Committee Specification Draft has been approved by the Technical Committee for submission to 30-day public review.
The purpose of the OASIS SDD TC is to define XML schema to describe the characteristics of an installable unit (IU) of software that are relevant for core aspects of its deployment, configuration, and maintenance. This document will be referred to as the Solution Deployment Descriptor (SDD).
Version 1.0 of the SDD was approved as an OASIS Standard in 2008. The Technical Committee is currently pursuing updates for SDD v2.0
