IOF transition to funded membership IOF transitioned its ontologies and ontology work to OAGi in 2021. Thanks to NIST funding and technical contributions we were able to release the IOF Core and Supply Chain ontologies in early 2023. We are implementing our long-term funding based on a membership model, which is designed to enable expanded development and promotion of ontologies and to provide better service and support to our users. Transition to the funded IOF membership model will occur on 01 October 2023. Simply stated, this means that participating organizations will need to contribute funds through membership fees paid annually or monthly, and personnel to help in ontology development. Participants will receive membership information via email on 31 July, including details of the interactive webinars regarding this new membership model to be scheduled in August and early September. We have also established a Founding Member category, that is designed to enable organizations to highlight their visionary leadership in the industrial manufacturing ontology domain. If your organization is interested in distinguishing itself as a founding member, please contact Jim Wilson at Jim.Wilson@OAGi.org.

OAGi Unveils New Look ATLANTA, GA, USA, July 20, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- OAGi is pleased to announce a new look for the organization and its suite of interoperability resources. Since 1995 “OAGIS” has been synonymous with enterprise messaging. However, OAGi’s leadership revisited who they are as an organization, what they do, what they offer, naming, branding, and people’s perceptions. "A couple years ago we described OAGi as the developers of the world's most comprehensive canonical standard for enterprise business transactions.'" said CEO, Jim Wilson. "We've reconsidered this way of describing our organization. We connect people, software, systems and applications, and business processes. Furthermore, we connect other standards with one another. In short, we connect." This “connect” theme and messaging now exists throughout OAGi branding and storytelling. OAGIS is now called connectSpec. Score is now called connectCenter. Express Packs are called connectKits. “We’ve been working with our member community for years now to increase or level of standards interoperability across the board and within several industries” says Vice President of Operations, Michael Figura. “We started years ago with our support for EDI and have since made major advancements in our interoperability with other standards such as S-Series, MTConnect, and QIF.” It’s clear that connectSpec (OAGIS) is quickly becoming the key to enabling integration, living at the heart of the enterprise standards world. What does the future hold for OAGi regarding further upcoming achievements for its standards and technologies? “We’re focused entirely on what our members and customers need most” says Wilson. “You can expect great things to come including mapping-related technologies, improved security-related enhancements, and even AI powered integration features. These exciting technologies combined will further improve our position as the most effective tool suite for enterprise integration and messaging.” OAGi is a non-profit organization with the mission to continuously improve interoperability through business process models, data standards, documentation, tools, best practices, and training.
