Since published in 2004, the O.K.I. Open Service Interface Definitions (OSIDs) have been used to provide a solid framework for achieving many-to-many interoperability among software components and systems, and have seen growing adoption worldwide. The V3 draft has been developed around the experiences throughout the OSID development community over the past three years to provide a clearer and more functional set of software interface definitions to meet growing demands.
Some of the significant changes and additions include:
* more explicit profiling of interoperability
* session management
* an interface-based means of extending OSID objects
* interface-based search mechanisms
* paging of results
* search within results
* support for asynchronous notifications of new, changed or deleted OSID objects
* support for hierarchical Types
* the ability to organize or tag OSID objects within catalogs
* support for proxy authentication through the OSIDs for server applications
* the ability to customize the OSID runtime environment
* new OSIDs:
