Progress with our Mobile, Cloud, JSON, REST, Big Data, NoSQL, Social Media (MCJRBNS) Working Group

Our Working Group continues to make excellent progress.  We reviewed a proposal from Abhijeet Ranadive of Cisco for a Technical Design guide. 

Abhijeet’s proposal included the following items:

URL Naming Convention
Query Parameter Decision
Exception Handling
HTTP Code
Process Exception (ConfirmBOD?)
Authentication
Partial Response / Pagination
Content Negotiation [XML vs JSON]
Versioning

Kurt Kanaskie from Merck will work with Abhijeet to build the first draft and bring it back to the Working Group.

The Working Group also discussed the requirement for round tripping from XML to JSON and back.  They have found a couple of tools and will continue to evaluate them.

There were several other topics discussed as well and action items were developed to address each one.  This Working Group is getting terrific participation.

We are also working on a White Paper which we plan to release the Wednesday after the US Labor Day holiday. 

The team meetings every other Thursday at 4 PM EDT.
