Australian SIF 1.0 Specification is now available
Today we have released the Australian SIF 1.0 specification.
OpenZIS and the Australia SIF Specification
Recently we have had a few developers reach out to us to see if we had an interest in developing for the Australian SIF that is currently in being Piloted. Well the short answer is Yes. We are currently waiting for the SIF Association to publish the Australian SIF Specification so that we can begin our development.
OpenZIS Demo Site Updated
Just wanted to let everyone know that we have added the UK SIF Spec 1.2 as well as the US SIF Spec 2.2 to our Demo site. We should have this available for download within the next few weeks.
OpenSIF – an Open Source SIF XML Library
We have started the development of an open source SIF XML library. This Ruby library will allow you to easy create and read SIF XML data elements.
This project is being housed at GitHub and is currently focusing in on the UK Specification. We have chosen the UK specification as we have had a lot of attention from UK Vendors as well as UK Educational Authorities (Sorry NDA’s).
This first round of development is being done in Ruby – however – we may move to create these same SIF XML Libraries in C#, VB, PHP and Java if there is enough interest.
Thanks,
OpenZIS Team.
UK SIF 1.2 Specification is in Alpha Testing
We have begun Alpha testing UK SIF 1.2 specification. We hope to have a beta release within the OpenZIS Demo site within two weeks and then released the fallowing week to the public.
