5. Interoperability Testing Pre-Specification

• iSchedule is new in 2008

  • Still in the discussion mode

  • Not yet defined as a specification

• The CalConnect Community enabled members to work together and actually have interoperability happening prior to a specification creation

• In October, we tested implementations of the new “specification under development”

  • This is an example of vendors quickly rolling out software using a proposed new specification

  • In this case, it will lead to a specification that has a good chance of acceptance and interoperability
