Invitation to join the Business Entity specification project

Dear Communities members,

I am delighted to announce that the CCS Steering Committee has accepted the specification proposal for “Business Entities”. The Business Entity has since the beginning of the OpenEdge Reference Architecture been a key element for data access and processing but has never been specified to a degree allowing both developers of consumers (software components accessing Business Entities) and Business Entities to have a common understanding about the functionality and interfaces of a Business Entity.

However in the recent past various Progress Software products such as OpenEdge Mobile, Rollbase, Telerik Kendo UI/Mobile, the JSDO and Data Direct OpenAccess SDK provide certain out of the box functionality in interacting with Business Entities. So having a common understanding between Progress Software and among customers about the functionality and interfaces of the Business Entity seems very beneficial and urgently required for any modernization project and framework to allow to align with the Progress Software and Telerik tool development.

The specification should take the requirements of the above mentioned Progress Software products into account.
In order to join the “Business Entity Specification” project team you need to be a member/participant of the CCS. You will find more information about the CCS under this link: https://community.progress.com/community_groups/openedge_general/f/26/t/19086.aspx

The invitation period opens today and will end on August 13, 2015.
