The next release of the AdsML Framework
Following the release of AdsML Framework 3.5 (R3) in May 2011, the Technical Working Group plans to remain in “maintenance mode” for the remainder of 2011. We anticipate that the next round of development will begin in early 2012. No release date has been set.
The goals for the next round of work will be based on feedback received from users and implementers. A list of the improvements that are currently under consideration can be found in Features under Consideration. Members of the public who wish to propose improvements, or to comment on the suggestions that have already been made, can do so by leaving a Reply at the bottom of that page.
Roadmap
A roadmap for the development of the AdsML Framework is presented beneath in tabular form. Distinct process phases of the advertising lifecycle are recorded in the left hand column. In the right hand columns, the core media types of Newspaper and Magazine, Print Insert, and Interactive are listed. The listed dates record when the AdsML Framework added explicit support for process phases in these media types. Work in progress is listed as such. A blank entry against a process phase indicates that support for that phase and media type is not currently provided by the AdsML Framework.
