Facilitation: Interoperability
Strategies |
|
The goal of this session is for the group to:
- Move toward a shared understanding of the major obstacles to
standards interoperability; and
- 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. |

|
|
Karl Best of OASIS will discuss how such
a registry could be created and operated, based on his experience

HR-XML's
Staffing Industry Data Exchange Standards (SIDES). |

Requisitions for temporary staffing typically
originate in the purchasing department rather than in the Human
Resources department. One of the principal goals of the SIDES
initiative is to allow the rich description of human resource
requirements within standard e-procurement mechanisms |

Person
Identifier Panel |

Chaired by Kim Bartkus, Deputy Director, HR-XML Consortium |
