Call for Participation in Business Data APIs and Interchange Community Group
Posted on:The Business Data APIs and Interchange Community Group has been launched:
Today, transmission of business data between software currently happens in the EDI format. This format is confusing, unreadable, and not publicly published. Many implementations are custom and involve high maintenance costs. The goal of this group is to define standards for transmission of various business data in a public, extensible, and humanly readable manner.
In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. Please note, however, that W3C Membership is not required to join a Community Group.
This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2019-08-19 by Benjamin Roberts. The following people supported its creation: Benjamin Roberts, Matt Lee, Antonio Broughton, Siyang Liu, Kali Shanker. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.
The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.
We invite you to share news of this new group in social media and other channels.
If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org
Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
