Oasis Forms "Lawful Intercept" XML Committee

Posted by Hemos on from the what-the-hobbes-is-that dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Oasis has announced the formation of the Lawful Intercept XML Technical Committee. The announcement refers to it as a "universal global framework for supporting rapid discovery and sharing of suspected criminal and terrorist evidence by law enforcement agencies." It's not really clear if this is supposed to aid in information exchange about suspicious activities/individuals, or 'intercepting' in the sense of eavesdropping, or what exactly."

    I appreciate your concern that once they know how to use computers, they can be lightning-fast and eliminate all the paperwork. But, realistically, will this ever happen?. If anything, the introduction of a computer system to any government agency only results in more copies of more pieces of paper flying around, not less. (That's assuming that the computer system is ever put into production; 95% of government-procured systems are either never delivered or by the time they're delivered they've forgotten why they bought them.)
