OSCRE Compliance Certification
OSCRE Compliance Certification is a process by which OSCRE tests individual XML files provided by implementing companies to validate conformance with a particular OSCRE schema. OSCRE issues Compliance Certificates to companies which have successfully demonstrated that their implementation of an OSCRE schema results in a compliant XML document. Compliance testing consists of validating the XML document against the relevant schema. Some business rules are checked, but full interoperability, even when two systems can both produce and read compliant XML document files, is achieved through testing between trading partners.[2]
TRIRIGA First to Incorporate an OSCRE Standard
On February 9, 2009, TRIRIGA, a leading integrated workplace management system and environmental sustainability software provider,[3] announced it was the first software vendor to incorporate the OSCRE Lease Abstract Exchange standard.[4] TRIRIGA delivered pre-built business processes and pre-defined XML document exchange in accordance with the OSCRE Lease Absract standard, which allows system users to publish or receive lease abstract data from any OSCRE compliant system.[4]
TRIRIGA provides support for the following Lease Abstract Exchange Standard schemas:[5]:
- AcceptLeaseAbstract
- SendLeaseAbstract
- ProvideLeaseAbstractClarification
- RejectLeaseAbstract
- RequestLeaseAbstractClarification
To complete the integration design process delivered, TRIRIGA worked closely with General Electric (GE) and Jackson Cross Partners.[4]
