Practitioner Network
The Practitioner Network has been set up to undertake the practitioner tasks associated with implementing the OSIAF and to provide a forum for organisations and projects with a common interest to consider common standards and interoperability issues.
Senior Implementer Group
The Senior Implementer Group (SIG) gathers the knowledge and experience of practitioners currently working across public service delivery organisations who are practically involved in interoperability projects. The SIG plays a key role in overseeing the Practitioner Network and in the assessment and approval of standards submitted to OSIAF.
More information is available on the Senior Implementer Group page.
Community Specific Interoperability Groups
Community Specific Interoperability Groups (CSIGs) provide a mechanism under the OSIAF whereby organisations or projects with a common interest can come together to consider common standards and interoperability issues for their particular areas of interest. CSIGs help the public sector to share knowledge and promote best practice, allowing communities of interest to be formed and jointly participate in the OSIAF.
