AIAG, through support and participation of its volunteers, needs to design and provide a suite of electronic messages for the automotive, truck, and heavy equipment industries to communicate business information. The objective of this workgroup is to provide technical support to other AIAG workgroups and to JAI workgroups for issues related to XML, OAGIS, Core Components (CCTS) and data modeling. The group will serve as a central point of knowledge and control for XML work at AIAG, and will be responsible for AIAG workgroup adherence to the AIAG and OAGIS methodologies.
