OAGIS Release 10 Public Review One now available

I am very pleased to announce that OAGIS 10.0 Release Candidate One is now available for Public Review!

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.

You can learn more and download this Public Review for free on our website here.

Tremendous Response to our Mobile Cloud JSON REST Webinars

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.

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. 

Mobile, Cloud, JSON, REST is a natural evolution for OAGIS.  Read our Position Paper here.
