OAGi
has recently moved revised and republished it's events calendar. This calendar
contains all Working Group, Council Meetings, and face to face meetings.
We welcome all OAGi members and users to take advantage of
this revised calendar. You can access our calendar here.
Mobile Initiative continues to make
progress
Our Mobile, Cloud, and JSON Working
Group continues to meet and make progress. Although the scope of the Working
Group is large because all these items are inter-related, the team is taking
things one or two topics at a time.
We are moving forward on the naming and
design rules for how we will express JSON, because there are several design
patterns possible, and we are also gathering case studies for mobile
applications.
Here is the scope of the Working Group
as a reminder:
- Mobile Business Case Studies as examples
- Working with Solution Providers to support OAGIS
JSON based apps on mobile devices
- OAGIS Apps for mobile devices from OAGi and its
members
- Changes to the OAGIS BOD architecture to provide
improved support for cloud
- JSON based instances of the OAGIS BODs
- A JSON tool converter
- JSON Naming and Design Rules (NDR) similar to the
current OAGIS XSD NDR
- REST processing guide for OAGIS
The scope of this Working Group is not tied to any
particular release of OAGIS and there is no set date for any of these
deliverable, as there needs to be some research done and these topics will
continue to evolve.
Registration continues for April Plenary and Working Group
Meetings
This is a reminder that registration is
open for our April 2012 Plenary and Working Group meetings. The meetings will
take place on Wednesday and Thursday, April 25 and 26 in Gaithersburg,
