Interoperability Events
• CIP4 has hosted five interoperability test events:– 2003: May (San Jose, CA), September, December (Orlando, FL)
– 2004: February (Zofingen, Switzerland), July (Vancouver, BC)
• Next Meetings– 2004: October (Kyoto, Japan)
– 2005: January (Heidelberg, Germany), April (Pittsburgh, PA)
• 60+ Participants from 20+ Companies
• Events are closed door
• Goals are: – Enhance the standard and increase interoperability
– Testing of integration of products from various vendors
– Pinpoint ambiguous areas in the specification
– Avoid multiple, incompatible JDF Dialects– NOT to focus on finding scapegoats / heroes
Interoperability Certification
• What does it mean to be certified as “JDF Compliant”?– Nothing
– Sending RIPing instructions to a folding machine isn’t very useful, even if it is fully compliant with the spec.
• So how does certification work, and what does it mean to be certified?– Mark Bohan is up next to explain all of that to
you!
