REMINDER: OAGIS 10.0 Public Review One ends Nov. 13

This is a reminder that the OAGIS 10.0 Public Review One ends on November 13, 2012.

OAGIS Release 10.0, is our long awaited re-engineered version of OAGIS. This release of OAGIS, when it becomes generally available, will succeed the Chem eStandards that were built by CIDX and ceded to OAGi during the merger in 2008.

We have no plans to drop prior releases of the Chem eStandards, they will continue to remain available on our website.

This Public Review does not yet contain the Chemical Industry requirements, that is planned to be added for Public Release 2, planned for early December, 2012.

OAGIS X also supports the newest UN/CEFACT Core Components Specifications, providing better rigor in the data model and also an increased ease of use.

As a Release Candidate this release is provided for 30 days in order to be reviewed by the public and for comment. This is the first of three release candidates that will be provided prior to the general release of OAGIS 10. As with all OAGi release candidates this release is NOT to be used for implementation as it will not be supported going forward.

We are planning a webinar entitled "A Business Case for OAGIS Release 10.0" as well so look for that announcement.

OAGIS Release 10 Release Candidate One:

- Content parity with OAGIS Release 9.6
- Support for UN/CEFACT Core Components 3.0
- Support for UN/CEFACT XML Naming and Design Rules (NDR) 3.0
- Support for UN/CEFACT Data Type Catalog 3.1
- Removes support for UN/CEFACT Core Components 2.1 and XML NDR 2.0
- Restructuring of the library structure
- Deletion of all deprecated items from the family of OAGIS 9.X Releases
- Single Namespace for easier use
- Support for nils on Field level content

This Public Review will run for 30 days and conclude on November 13, 2012. From there we will review the feedback and we expect to release Public Review 2 in early December, 2012, which includes the Chem eStandards gap work and the HR-XML content harmonization.
