(OTHER BUSINESS) ANNOUNCEMENT: OPEN DATA INTERCHANGE FRAMEWORK PROJECT

   UN/CEFACT and ISO (TC 154) are inviting interested parties to
   participate in a project to create a joint Technical Report to define
   a consistent and timely way to address and resolve issues of gaps,
   overlaps, and counter-productive standardization efforts through:

    - Describing a coordinated "Open Data Interchange" framework,
      fostering an integrated work program to meet stakeholder needs in
      administration, commerce and trade, and

    - Describing a collaboration process, involving business processes
      and supporting data that facilitate the open electronic
      interchange of structured data

   The goal is to evaluate experiences and describe a common technical
   framework that will engage other key players involved in standards
   development and encourage greater consistency and effectiveness of
   technical specifications and standards.

   The project will:

    - Identify the broad scope of technical specifications and
      standards, work programmes and strategies for the open interchange
      of structured data in support of administration, commerce and
      trade

    - Identify the relationships and dependencies of the above

    - Identify what is missing in the above in order to provide a
      complete technical framework

    - Propose ways forward such as, division of labor to avoid
      duplication of work and to foster coherence in work programmes and
      strategies

   The project proposal is available at

   https://sites.google.com/a/documentengineeringservices.com/methodology-and-technology-pda/technical-framework/documents/OpenDataInterchangeTechnicalReportProjectProposalMarch192012.pdf

   It is also available through ISO work item reference ISO/TC 154 N 0659.

   The start of the requirements gathering stage is planned at the
   UN/CEFACT Spring Forum, 16-20 April 2012.

   This project is open to ISO members and members of ISO liaison
   organizations, including OASIS. Heads of Delegations to UN/CEFACT may
   also nominate technical experts from their constituency to
   participate in the work.  All interested participants should have
   broad knowledge in the area of methodologies and technologies for the
   open electronic interchange of structured data.

   Expressions of interest to participate or requests for further
   information may be sent by e-mail to the project leaders Tim McGrath
   (tim.mcgrath@documentengineeringservices.com) or Klaus-Dieter Najouk
   (tc154chair@mail-etc.net)
