Fraunhofer IAO carried out the openTRANS-panel on February 26th, 2008 with circa 60 attendees. The panel provided information to the actual usage and developments in the area of openTRANS. Further discussion were about the improvement of the standard through the implementation of version 2.0. We kept the results to push the ideas into the development of the new version. At the same time the panel was a long requested platform to bring various users of the standard together and to discuss softwaresolutions and services on the basis of openTRANS.

Additionally we made a survey to get more information about the needs of the users and to provide support for them. Use the opportunity to inform you about the future development of the standard and to interchange with other users. You can download all materials here (unfortunately all materials are in german):
