On Thursday the Architecture Board voted to accept the FTF finalization report for the Video Analytics standard! <B>Congratulations to Angela Seidel of GK Software</B> for chairing this Taskforce and being the first fully approved OMG standard from the ARTS team!<br /> Links to these can be found on the <a href="https://www.omgwiki.org/retail/doku.php?id=start">Retail Wiki start page</a><br /> </p> <p>Roland presented the work that has been accomplished on the Fiscal API service RFP. Edits were made to address the comments received by the Architecture Board reviewers. Meeting attendees also provided feedback and comments. A motion was made and passed to submit the revised document to the Architecture Board for Thursday. On Thursday the Architecture Board accepted the revised RFP. The final versions of these documents are listed below and on the retail OneDrive</p> <p>Next John Glaubitz lead a discussion on the retail ontology in the context of the term Party and its associated roles. Minutes of this portion are available separately.</p> <p>After lunch we had an engaging conversation lead by Dr. Daryll Prescott, OMG Board member and executive of Tethers End Consulting. jWe discussed how using modeling methods during the requirements gathering phase of a solution can help ensure everyone understands the objectives and goals equally, and the benefits that can be achieved.</p> <p>Tadashi presented the work that has been accomplished on the UPOSv1 Retail Communications Service Device RFP. Tadashi and Toyohiro worked with the Robotics DTF for 2 days to compare and contrast their work efforts. A table and diagram of the comparison and relationships was added to the RFP to clarify the responsibilities and goals of these two solutions. Edits were also made to address the comments received by the Architecture Board reviewers. Meeting attendees also provided feedback and comments. A motion was made and passed to submit the revised document to the Architecture Board for Thursday. On Thursday the Architecture Board accepted the revised RFP. The final versions of these documents are listed below and on the retail OneDrive</p> <p>Digital Receipts continues to be an area of interest. A more simplified version of this specification would greatly help adoption. Jay Patel talked about the challenges his customers have with implementing PosLog and our existing Digital Receipts standard. There are also additional challenges in Japan. Tadashi and Leonid plan to reach out to P.K. at Toshiba Tech to see if they woudl be able to lead this RFP effort.</p> <p>On Thursday we started the day with a review of the White Paper/Position Paper topics and their status. Four of the topics have completed drafts; Robots in Retail, PoS on the Go!, Fiscal Services; EVRW in Retail.<br />The next steps are to get a technical writer to convert them to an OMG acceptable format for publishing and printing to use as inspiring collateral for meetings and conferences. We also plan to include them in a monthly or bi-monthly retail@omg.org email to be sent out by the chair's.</p> <p>Training on ARTS standards has been going on for a long time. ARTS Users Conferences, BootCamps and training days were common before and after many conferences. Richard Halter has now created several online training classes education people about ARTS retail standards, Architecture and a detailed look at PosLog. <br />We plan to start promoting these training's as a way to continually educate Retailers on the value of standards. If there is enough interest in these, an OMG certification will also be considered. We are also looking at hosting a full or half-day training at a future OMG meeting. Let us know what you think!</p> <p>The day concluded with an interactive discussion of our future road-map. To complement the Fiscal API RFP, it was recommended to create a Tender Information standard from the existing ARTS standards and submit it as an RFC. This should be a simple and short work effort to extract this valuable information from the existing standards, making the OMG Retail standards much more modular and manageable. <br /> Richard Halter has also invested a lot of time expanding the BPM adding Strategies and KPI's. Please reach out to him if you are looking to improve this area of your business.<br /> Lastly, we plan create and update the YouTube videos of our existing standards (from NRF) and new work efforts to help socialize them, and include the links in e-mails. If you are interested in recording one, or have exceptional experience implementing these in your organization, please reach out to us.</p> <p>Interest areas discussed related to other OMG activities:<br /> -
