Busy Day at OAGi Thursday March 24, 2011

Thursday, March 24 was a very busy day for OAGi and it's members.

We had five teleconference meetings, including:

1. UN/CEFACT Context Methodology
2. ISO 2022 Financial Payment Harmonization
3. OAGi Chemical Industry Council 
4. OAGi High Tech Industry Council
5. Human Resources Sub-Group to OAGIS Release 10

The members are getting good work done.

Ongoing OAGi Collaboration with HR-XML

HR-XML contributed a good deal to our OAGi Global Trade Compliance Working Group Meeting today. We look forward to our continued collaboration with them on that Working Group.

Apparently they have a compliance BOD for background checking that does similar functions in a different domain.  We may be able to reuse some of their work for Trade Compliance.

Since they adopted the OAGIS Platform last year, their work is closer than ever to OAGi's work.

Now they are looking to contribute content to the OAGi Platform with the possible addition of a "Search" Noun to our OAGIS X Work.  In addition, they are participating on our HR Content Sub-OAGIS X Working Group.
