Day’s Standardization Initiative Completes Public Review
Executive Committee Approves JSR 170 Public Review Process
Day, provider of global content management software, today announced that the Java Community Process (JCP) executive committee has approved the Public Review draft of Java Specification Request (JSR) 170 Content Repository for Java technology API. The global industry expert group, which Day is leading, now will proceed and prepare the proposed final draft of JSR 170.
JSR 170 is expected to have a fundamental impact on the content management industry as it will standardize the exchange of content between applications and content repositories. Today such a standard does not exist. Content repositories are based on proprietary interfaces, resulting in isolated, mutually incompatible content silos and expensive vendor lock-in. JSR 170 will solve this problem and ensure that companies can easily manage and share content across large-scale enterprises.
Day’s CTO David Nuescheler has initiated JSR 170 and has taken the leadership role in developing and implementing a specification that will help the whole industry to grow and mature. David Nuescheler is the Specification Lead and chairs the expert group, including companies such as BEA, IBM, Oracle and SAP as well as the Apache software foundation.
“Content repositories are becoming a key element in the software infrastructure of global companies and complex organizations. Infrastructure however can only be successful when it is based on standards,” said David Nuescheler, CTO of Day. “So far this has been missing in the content management industry which has been characterized by a confusing plethora of proprietary repository technologies. The goal of JSR 170 is to change this.”
