Public Review of Preliminary Constituent XML Standards

ASAE Technology Section Council — Data Standards Task Force

Objectives

After considerable work by the various ASAE Data Standards Committee and sub-committees, the preliminary constituent XML standards are ready for public review. For those who understand XML standards, the various documents will be self-explanatory. For those not used to dealing with these types of documents, this document should provide at least a place to start as the documents are reviewed.

The ASAE Data Standards Committee is soliciting comments from the association and vendor communities to assist in the process of verifying this “standard” for describing constituents. More specifically, the following questions need to be answered:

1. Does the standard include all the elements that it should to describe constituents, both individuals and companies while keeping in mind that this is a general association standard and attempting not to focus on any specific industry? As you think about this, consider what you would need to communicate information to your sister organizations or vendors.
2. Does the structure of the standard support implementation of web services both from the association’s and vendor’s standpoint? As you think about this, consider how you would communicate with your sister organizations or vendors.
