Background
What’s the purpose of the working group? Migrate the essence of the schedule and
cost ANSI X12 transaction sets (806, 839) and UN/EDIFACT messages (PROTAP, PROCST) to an XML schema format
Intent is to: Address formal government contract
requirements Facilitate data exchange between other related
entities such as a prime and their subs

What’s the End Benefit?
A library of XML cost and schedule components defined in a broadly used industry standard
Software vendor neutral format Established a formal standard that can be
cited in contracts and requirements much like the ANSI X12 EDI transaction sets or the EIA/ANSI 748 EVMS standard
Prevent new projects from reinventing the wheel – use suite of XML components in an ebusiness architecture framework

What’s Happened So Far
PMSC meeting August, 2003 Work group formed
PMSC meeting January, 2004 Motion made and carried to take the formal
standards path February – June, 2004
Initiated contacts to determine best path forward (X12, CEFACT, OAGi)
Selected Open Applications Group (OAGi)

About OAGi
Not for profit industry consortium Standards development organization
Uses ebXML core components (OAGIS 9.0) Broad set of schemas are widely used nationally
and internationally (10 year history) Endorsed by and affiliated with other industry
associations (AIA, European aerospace industry) UN/CEFACT approved XML syntax payload Practical, well proven, fast track approach to

What’s Happened So Far
Outcome of November OAGi meeting: New OAGi A&D working group formed, AF
is lead Two working groups under this umbrella:
eOrder and Program Management Sponsors for PM data: AF, LM, Boeing
Oracle and SAP have joined the working group

Influences and Politics
France consortium, Boost Aero is putting pressure on AIA members to use their schemas Goal is a global XML standard for A&D under
CEFACT (CEFACT has endorsed their outputs) Current focus: logistics, ordering, supply chain Not complete
Proposed AIA member approach Use OAGi (Version 9.0) as tactical solution (now) CEFACT ebXML as the converging strategic
solution (later)

OAGi Proposed Plan – PM Schemas
Target complete date: July, 2005 Project definition phase: Initial steps complete Construction phase: March through May
Key output: Use case scenarios (UML) Testing phase: Dependent on software vendor
involvement Review and approval phase: June/July Publication: July/August Also dependent on eOrder working group to
resolve security issues (user authentication and authorization) Dependent on status of security standard (SAML)
