Message from the CEO
There was tremendous feedback from the LIXI Forum regarding document and file sharing. It seems to me that a large proportion of LIXI members are wokring on better methods of sharing information, and web-enabled document sharing is a key facet of that.
NextGen evening series: So we were very pleased to see the positive response from the NextGen evening series on an API for document access with common document metadata.
One really exciting aspect to the NextGen proposal involves a fast-tracked method of agreeing on standards. The doc-sharing API is not an XML schema in the usual LIXI way, and with a signficant amount of effort having been invested already, LIXI is supportive of a mechanism to achieve a cooperative solution in a more efficient manner, while still gathering and responding to the requirements of the broader member base.
LIXI members will be hearing more about the doc-sharing API and other cooperative ventures over the coming months.
Erik Fenna, CEO.
