NIST staff presented an update of the OAG/NIST B2B Testbed capabilities at the Open Applications Group (OAG) meeting in Detroit, MI. NIST presented the methodology developed for content testing that was applied to the Inventory Visibility and Interoperability (IV&I) project (http://www.aiag.org/whatsnew.cfm#ivi) as part of the IV&I status update, and demonstrated the testbed capability to support Business Object Document constraint checking to the Standards in Automotive Retail (STAR) consortium representatives. The STAR delegation expressed significant interest to use NIST capabilities for BOD management and testing of business rules and constraints within the STAR community. Plans were made to facilitate an initial pilot test. The NIST team also presented the vision and some technical ideas for a Semantic Web-based approach to develop the next generation OAG specification. The vision was well received by the members of OAG and the work was approved for continuation. For more information regarding NIST testbed, please visit: http://www.mel.nist.gov/msid/b2btestbed/ .
