This recent Alpha Project set out to describe a set of common requirements to support the provision, exchange and consumption of Events.

The primary deliverable from the work was a generalised and repeatable toolkit comprising of both Rules of Engagement and a Technical Specification. This toolkit is referred to as the Ecosystem Toolkit.

In this webinar Ben Helps, Alpha Project Co-ordinator & author of the whitepaper, will explain why:

• Why the Ecosystem Toolkit can be seen as setting out an architectural style that can be used to implement a Trust Framework
• Why the Ecosystem Toolkit constrains some design decisions in order to elicit a number of beneficial qualities, but does not impose specific implementation choices.
• How the ideas contained within the Ecosystem Toolkit aim to connect expertise, remove barriers to collective action that prevent the emergence of collaborative ecosystems
• How the toolkit aims to reduce the incremental effort required either to set up a new ecosystem or to extend an existing one,
• How the toolkit will allow for a greater level of interoperability between ecosystems.

We envisage a future state in which the Ecosystem Toolkit helps significantly more collaborative ecosystems to emerge – and thereby create value.

We look forward to sharing the above with you at this next OIX webinar on Weds 27th January at 3pm (UK).
