TransXML Stewardship Four Models Option 1:AASHTOWare

Separate solicitation or set-aside from existing products

Support for open standards, interoperability

Option 2:Cooperative Agreement (AASHTO, USDOT, Others)

Member agencies provide funding and in-kind services

Technical work via contracts and/or volunteer working groups

Rely on existing standards organizations for process

TransXML Stewardship Four Models Option 3: USDOT Contract

Multi-year contract Non-profit, university, or commercial

organization

Option 4:New Non-Profit Organization OGC Model Support via grants, memberships, and

donated labor Would need business model to provide

incentives for membership or revenue-generating products/services

Web Services A new, modern method for integrating applications Services – programs that are always active, ready to

respond to requests Web – The connections between services are made using

the Internet rather than a local or wide-area network.

Link together applications that were built on different platforms, with different languages, independent of databases and operating systems

XML is the “universal glue” that links services together.
