Standards-Based P2B Interoperability
A Brief Review of Activities
 Early Key Events
• Users trigger SAP interest:
• 2003, 2004 - Process, Discrete Workshops
• ISA/OAGi agreement signed: end 2005
 User Meetings at ARC Forum: February 2006
• Interested in standards convergence, esp. P2B
• Need short time frame: 1 year
• Standards groups ready to step up
 Customer Advisory Council and Guideline Working
Group formed: Feb/Mar 2006

Standards Convergence
Status – February 2007
 A methodology has been developed for creating ISA
content in OAGIS
 The OAGi Board of Directors has agreed to express the
ISA-95 data model in OAGIS, and BODs are being
created
 ISA-95 has been improved with:
• UN/CEFACT Core Components (ongoing)
• OAGIS BOD messaging, nouns, verbs, etc.
 B2MMLv4 supports ISA-95 object structures by
themselves or wrapped in an OAGIS-style transaction
container

Two ISA-95 Implementations:
Status – February 2007
 B2MML
• Supports UN/CEFACT core components using OAGIS
core component schema
• Implemented ISA-95 transactions as subset of
OAGIS transactions
• Extensions permit inclusion of OAGIS components in
B2MML documents
 OAGIS
• OAGi Board of Directors authorized incorporating the
ISA SP-95 Data Model into the OAGIS standard
• BODs based on the ISA-SP95 data model are being
developed (starting with Production Performance
and Production Schedule)
• Users can map back and forth from OAGIS to B2MML
by closely aligning some of their messages to the
B2MML implementation.

Current Status - February 2008
 Both Customer Advisory Council and
Manufacturing Interoperability Guideline
Working Group No Longer Active
 OpenO&M continuing standards collaboration
activities
 OAGi (OAGIS BODS) and WBF (B2MML)
Implementations of ISA95 Are Proceeding in
Parallel

OAGI and ISA95
 OAGIS Release 9.2 includes the new ISA-95
based BODs
 Target Release Date: February 1, 2008

Ongoing Collaboration
 OAGi is building the ISA-95 Data Model into
the OAGIS standard to provide a broader
solution for OAGIS users.
 OAGIS is sharing their data model with ISA-
95
 With BODs based on the ISA-95 data
model, the user can more easily map between
OAGIS and B2MML.

WBF B2MML
 B2MML v04 is the latest version
 Many enhancements improve alignment between
B2MML and OAGIS 9.0
 For example:
• B2MML is designed to implement a subset of the OAGiS 9.0
message rules that are consistent with the ISA 95 Part 5
definitions. The B2MML ApplicationArea and verb
elements are subsets of the full OAGIS 9.0
specifications, with minor differences.
• In order to be consistent with the OAGIS message
transaction format, a change was made to use the
UN/CEFACT core component types as the base types for all
elements.
