Historical Reference
• 2007 OAGi re-invented itself with new
bylaws and structure to support these
trends
• 2008 OAGi brought out the first release
of the Business Standards Platform
• These are both necessary to address
the engagement and technical needs of
this emerging model

OAGi President
Executive Committee
Policy Board
• After OAGIS built new
bylaws, much discussion
on how our engagement
model was like the
Eclipse Platform
• Yet we did not have the
technological equivalent

BOD Context Management
• OAGIS Data Model is very rich
• OAGIS is used in many
industries, for many business
processes, in many geographical
area
• Need a way to communicate the
data relevant to the process in
use

Modifying OAGIS
• XSD Overlay Technology
• Userarea with Namespaces and pre-
defined Types
• Lite BODs
• Userarea without disciplined approach
• Random Changes

Userarea with Types
• Your Namespace
• Your new content defined
in a reusable Type
• Manually plugged into
Userarea

BOD Context Management
Lite BODs
• OAGIS technology also enables
you to “extrude” lightweight
BODs
• The “Lite BOD” must parse as
valid against the Canonical
• This enables you to build “Use
Case BODs”
• Requires a strong methodology
• Requires strong stewardship for
the implementation

BOD Context Management
• OAGIS current methods for
implementing context

Extension Architecture
BOD Subsets (Lite BODs)
Schematron expressions
Profiling use of fields and rules
Using XSD Nil
• None of these are normative
• No pre-defined drivers
– Industry
– Geography
– Process, etc.

BOD Context Management
• Need a way to define context drivers
• Need more automatic derivation of data
from drivers
• Need better business rules from drivers
• Need OAGIS architecture upgraded to
support
• Need software tools

UN/CEFACT
Context Methodology (UCM)
• Still in development
• Based on CCTS 3.0 and NDR 3.0 from
UN/CEFACT
• Really a methodology
• Not the end . . .
