OAGi

OAGi is a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and adoption of open standards for business-to-business (B2B) data exchange. It focuses on creating and maintaining XML-based data exchange specifications that enable businesses to communicate and transact with each other more efficiently. OAGi's primary initiative is the Open Business Content (OBC) framework, which provides a library of reusable business documents and data components. These components are designed to be modular and extensible, allowing businesses to implement them across various industries and applications.

The organization works collaboratively with its members, which include technology providers, software vendors, and end-user companies, to define and evolve these standards. OAGi aims to reduce the complexity and cost associated with B2B integration by providing a common language for electronic commerce. Their standards are used in a wide range of business processes, including order management, invoicing, shipping notifications, and procurement. By promoting interoperability, OAGi helps businesses streamline their operations, improve data accuracy, and foster stronger supply chain relationships. The organization also provides resources, training, and support to help businesses implement and benefit from their open standards.
