- Identify and prioritize strategies and tactics for achieving interoperability.
The expectation is to walk away from the session with a broad, written outline these obstacles and strategies. | | Gary O'Neall, an expert facilitator and experienced standards-group participant, will lead the session. Gary honed his facilitation skills during 15 years at Hewlett Packard, where he held a variety of engineering management positions, including General Manager Electronic Commerce. | | | | | | 6:30 | Reception at Disney's Living Seas Restaurant followed by the Lumination Show | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Day 2: Friday, December 7 | | 8:30 - 9:00 | Review Agenda/Summarize Day One Results (click to view) | | Gary O'Neall | | | | 9:00 - 9:45 | MoU Management Group (click to view) | | The purpose of the MoU Management Group is to promote strategy in standardization through encouraging cooperation and by the timely identification of, and recommendation to resolve, divergences and overlaps in the work of international standards organizations. | | | | 9:45 - 10:30 | Introduction to HR-XML's Domain Reference Model | | Enrique Kortright, SPAWAR ITC | | | | 10:30 - 10:45 | Break | | | | | | 10:45 - 11:30 | Competencies: HR-XML, OMG, IMS Project (click to view) | | Dan Bork, iXmatch | | Competencies are central to HR management, but models conceived by HR-XML's Competencies workgroup and OMG's Special Interest Group could be valuable in supporting the rating, measuring, comparing, or matching any asserted characteristic against one that is demanded | | | | 11:30 - 12:00 | Customer Perspective on Interoperability | | Bob Sutor, IBM | | | | 12:00 - 1:00 | Lunch | | | | | | 1:00 - 1:45 | Modeling Notations and Methodology | | Enrique Kortright, SPAWAR ITC | | | | 1:45 - 2:30 | Promoting Interoperability through a Standards Registry (click to view) | | Karl Best, OASIS - Director, Technical Operations | | Bob Hager, Director of Publishing, American National Standards Institute (ANSI) | | | | Karl Best of OASIS will discuss how such a registry could be created and operated, based on his experience developing the XML.org schema registry; and Bob Hager of ANSI will discuss the work that ANSI has already done with a standards registry, what was learned, and how this might be used as a foundation for future efforts. | | | | 2:30 - 2:45 | Break | | | | 2:45 - 3:15 | HR-XML's Staffing Industry Data Exchange Standards (SIDES).
