Subject: EDS study on XML Standards says OAGIS is most widely used
All, Here are a couple of quotes from that study. ". . . the OAGIS standards proposed by the Open Applications Group, Inc., are already well-developed. There are more than 170 schemas or document type definitions (DTDs) published and in use. Like ebXML this standard covers many areas and appears to be one of the most widely adopted and supported standards. It may well win the battle to become the DE FACTO XML standard just because its early release has allowed tool vendors and application developers to incorporate support for this standard." [NOTE: The OAGI is adopting the ebXML framework use and the two will fit together "hand in glove". A detailed technical document is underdevelopment at this time.] "The Open Applications Group Integration Specification (OAGIS) contains at least 170 business-object DTDs that span a number of topics within the e-commerce area. This is a mature standard that has widespread support, a large number of product implementations, and a diverse membership that includes the major ERP vendors, the major EAI vendors, the major e-commerce application vendors, and the major translation tool vendors. These members seem to be further along in developing internal support for OAGIS than for other XML standards organizations. This is partially due to the maturity of the standard and to the reputation of the Open Applications Group and their active involvement in marketing the standard and in forming corporate alliances. They are currently demonstrating the “hands-free” processing of communications in supply chain transactions, warehouse management systems, and ERP systems for clients such as Ford Motor Company, Lucent Technologies, and Lockheed Martin. This appears to be a mature, interoperable and increasingly ubiquitous standard." You can download the study here prepared by EDS here: http://www.eds.com/news/news_thought_leadership_xml_USPS.shtml
