We are also having a Policy Board meeting the afternoon of May
1, also at NIST.
The agenda is still in draft form, but we will be addressing the
following topics:
- Update on the OAGIS
Mobile, Cloud, and JSON Initiative
- Special Presentation from NIST on their new Supply Chain and Sustainability Initiatives
- Update on OAGi BPMN work
- Case study from one of Outstanding Contributors, Steffen Fohn

You can learn about travel and accommodations as well as
register for the meeting on our website here.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Mobile, Cloud, JSON
Initiative continues with a great deal of interest.
The Working Group has resumed working on their own JSON
Application Programming Interface (API) Guide for OAGIS Mobile and Cloud API’s and
they are making good progress. We are
seeing that the Mobile JSON API Design may end up differing some from the Cloud
JSON API but that is not yet final.
OAGIS Release 10 Public Review Two is available now!
The second Public Review of OAGIS Release 10 started on February
21 and runs through March 21.
Public Review Two contains the Chemical Industry content from
our Gap Analysis with the Chem eStandards.
That was part of our agreement with CIDX when they merged with OAGi in
2009. Public Review Two is also planned
to contain the HR-XML harmonization work that Steffen Fohn of ADP has been
working on as well as some manufacturing enhancements.
The Working Group continues to meet to wrap up the technical
work and we are planning a Webinar that will brief participants on the features
of OAGIS Release 10.
We encourage you to download this Public Review and to give us
your feebback. All OAGi members are
invited to participate. It is on the
OAGi website under the “Members Only” section here. We need all the smart people we can get!
New Manufacturing Opportunities
with NIST
Nenad
Ivezic and Serm Kulvatunyou of NIST, both also longtime contributors to OAGi, will
be presenting at our upcoming May 2, 2013 Plenary meeting. They will be presenting on their new
manufacturing initiatives and Working Group plans.
The
first initiative is focused on “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.
The
second initiative from NIST 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.
We
welcome your feedback and look forward to your participation.
BPMN efforts making good
progress
OAGi
staff met with Denis Gagné to review the BPMN conversion of the OAGIS
Scenarios. The group discussed the types
of diagrams to use and how much detail to show.
Denis will present the results at our upcoming Plenary Meeting on May 2
in Gaithersburg. It is not intended that
BPMN will replace our current UML Sequence Diagrams but will complement them.
An
example of the work of an OAGIS Procure to Pay BPMN Scenario based on our UML Sequences
Diagram version is just below.
Meeting Calendar for 2013
Our planned calendar for 2013 is below. Stay tuned for the specific date and time
announcements. We are also planning a
series of webinars covering topics on Chemical Industry B2B, OAGIS Release 10,
and Mobile and Cloud efforts.
