A BICS document can be interrogated to determine if a specific schema or other mechanism is declared as an information constraint.

BICS might be submitted to a standards organization if enough committed supporters emerge.

The heart of the BICS framework specification is a constraint processing model.

BICS 2 is ready to accommodate any emerging constraint technology.

Simply put, BICS is a constraint document -- meaning, an XML document that contains a set of information restrictions.

A BICS document can reference a constraint that uses a URL (perhaps the location of a schema) as in this example.

In this regard, BICS can be thought of as a formal service profiling language.

BICS instance documents contain a set of constraint structures, which are typed according to concrete constraint mechanisms.

Constraints themselves can also be contained within the BICS document.

It is important to note that the actual information being checked against a BICS document is out of scope.

The BICS specifications, which include the popular constraint mechanisms, are available online -- see the links in Resources.

Several potential directions exist for the BICS specification work.

An implementation for BICS can read a BICS document and apply the constraints to some piece of information to check conformance.

See the BICS specification for details.

You can also define your own constraint mechanism using the BICS framework.

A BICS document can have constraints of varying types -- for example, multiple schemas and a Schematron assertion schema.

For those not familiar with the earlier version, I will give a quick overview of what BICS is and what it does.
