PIDX Requirements
To be the standard of global choice for products and services for our
industry ?
A robust and workable approval system to allow new products and
services to be added, with clear version tracking ?
In a reasonable timeframe for release, for public use ?
Utilising a template development toolset that is user friendly, easy to
administer and transparent ?
Template Review ProcessRemember
Class WGOur new process
To aid anyone wishing to create a new template, we currently have a good document, “PIDX Template Development Guidelines”
This document and CatMaster will now to be modified to match the new process, volunteers to help Paul and I with the document task, much appreciated …..
Class WG
The new address list on CatMaster of ‘users’ is ~215
However, activity on the toolset has been nearly exclusively limited to third party data specialists contracted to larger companies,
They have been very active such that they have revisited most of our prior 2100 templates and added information or modified them, plus added an incremental 1800 templates from new. Total now 3900 !
Class WGActivity on CatMaster toolset
Sadly there was not a large amount of review work performed by peers of these new and modified templates.
However, based this huge amount of work, the Workgroup committee have elected to create a new release, to be termed 5.0 and this has been scheduled for release as of ~ 15th March 2008.
Class WGRFP/ RFI for outsourcing of template development for our
members
At the close of the Fall 2007 Houston meeting, I received the OK from the Executive to go for an RFP to the industry experts.
The RFP went to 5 enterprises, with 1 more accepting to be excluded, RESPONSES
1 declined as they have a proprietary system, 1 no response, and 3 offers.
One of the offers made a specific and interesting counter offer, to be discussed with the Executive at the next Exec Committee meeting, at least within 30 days, with my recommendation to accept.
More news very soon.
Paul , I and others are reviewing the functionalities and capabilities of the
system which holds our templates and for which PIDX pays a license fee
annually.
More news later, just be assured…..
Class WGCatMaster toolset
Class WGA better dictionary ?
Dictionary enhancements
Attribute Units of Measure
Recommended Abbreviations
Preferred Attributes
Attribute Order
Recommended formats
Short Description
Long Description
Implementation guide
Class WGMapping to the eOTD
What is the eOTD
A series of words with codes and definitions
Dictated by the ECCMA members
Some of what is in the PIDX templates already exists
The remainder can and should be added
Note:
A dictionary is only as useful as the implementation guide.
The advantage?
Semantic communication of data using codes
Class WGAnd now, a call to arms !
Paul and I will be circulating amongst you for the remainder of the meeting to recruit volunteers for the SMALLER and more interesting / challenging set of work tasks now before the Classification Work Group in 2008 !
Thank You, Questions to either of us ???
