As the CIQ TC has been inactive for sometime, is without a chair, and as no objections have been raised to its closing, as TC Administrator I now close the OASIS Customer Information Quality (CIQ) TC.
The CIQ TC was launched in December, 2000 to develop global, generic standards for managing party-centric information (of which 'customer' is one type).
The TC produced two OASIS Committee Specifications: "Customer Information Quality Specifications Version 3.0. Name (xNL), Address (xAL), Name and Address (xNAL) and Party (xPIL)" in October 2008 and "Customer Information Quality Party Relationships (xPRL) Specification Version 3.0" in November 2009. These specifications were designed to represent party data (e.g. name and address)in forms that are vendor-, application-, industry- and technology-neutral as well as open and global.
The CIQ TC specifications has been widely adopted in commercial and governmental applications and has been incorporated into other standards as well. For example, within OASIS, Election Markup Language, the Emergency Management specifications, DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) and the Cyber Threat Intelligence specifications. Google Maps uses the OASIS CIQ Specifications as part of its KML (Keyhole Markup Language), as does CityGML (both now "Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC)" Standards). More information on adoption can be found on the TC's home page.
Our congratulations and thanks to the members of the CIQ TC for their many contributions over the years.
