<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">We are lucky that we have several large members, including Oracle and Microsoft, who are implementing OAGIS 10.0 and we are finding things that need to be added or updated to this groundbreaking new release.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">In addition, Boeing is also one of the members implementing OAGIS 10.0 and we are learning a great deal about making OAGIS the Aerospace and Defense standard along with our already existing support for Automotive, Chemical, Agricultural, Metals, High Tech, Life Sciences, Logistics, Retail and others. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">As a result of these events we are listening very hard and the membership has rallied to help make the changes necessary. We don't have a date yet for 10.1 but it will be soon so look for announcements.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">OAGi has been leading an initiative since the Third Quarter of 2013 that is looking at the various practices and approaches to JSON implementations across standards organizations.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11.111111640930176px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">We are currently working with the STAR and HR Open Standards because they have JSON initiatives and they also use our BOD Platform. We have recently invited XBRL to sit in and OASIS is now interested as well. We plan to expand this as it is appropriate. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11.111111640930176px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px;">The group is sharing their plans and experiences as well as surveying other standards organizations for their plans or use of JSON. We are thinking is that it took years to sort out an XML Naming and Design Rules (NDR) that we all use so it is not too soon to look at JSON to see if the same approach is appropriate.</span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The purpose
of the Working Group is to build a Specification that is a normative document

separate standard. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

will focus on practicality and implementability and will not require special
tools or tools that have not yet been built to implement.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

gather use cases, develop a requirements document, gather current state of the
art examples, and develop the specification document.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This blog entry mentions Infor as a "Grown Up Startup" because of their innovation. It also discusses their six broad areas of investment, include their ION product as a way to enable interoperability across their products. It also mentions that ION uses OAGIS as the technology they use in ION.</span><br />

one is entitled "Sustainability Characterization of Manufacturing Supply
Chains ". The goals of this project include developing the necessary
models, methods and tools to assess and optimize total energy and material
usage, and to enable OEMs to aggregate the energy and material sustainability contributions
from their own manufacturing and assembly processes with those from their
supply chains.</span><span style="color: #000066; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

for an OAGi activity is entitled, "Advancing Communication of
Manufacturing Information". The goal of this activity is to increase the
productivity of U.S. small manufacturers by enabling digital communication of
manufacturing information for production and data processing through
development of reference models and systematic, verifiable modeling methodology
that will enable new standards for manufacturing supply chain integration.</span><span style="color: #000066; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We completed our third and final Mobile Cloud JSON REST
yesterday to a good crowd. We have had
amazing response as our first Webinar last week had 80 people registered so we
added two more sessions this week.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We explained that since 1996 when OAGIS was first shipped,
OAGi has evolved from pre-XML to DTD’s in 1998, XSD in 2002, UN/CEFACT Core
Components in 2005 and the upgraded version of UNCEFACT Core Components in
2012. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mobile, Cloud, JSON, REST is a natural evolution for
OAGIS. Read our Position Paper <a href="http://www.oagi.org/dnn2/"><span style="color: #0b5394;">here</span></a>.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
