connectKit: Real-Time Release of Raw Materials for the Biopharmaceutical Industry
Introduction
OAGi’s connectKit (formerly Express Pack) for Real-Time Release of Raw Materials for the Biopharmaceutical Industry (RTRRM) was developed to help businesses in the biopharmaceutical industry digitize their business processes by leveraging modern techniques that helps accelerate their implementation and provide consistent representation of information across each integration.

Messages
This connectKit supports the following messages:
Each message definition is available as:
JSON Schema
API Spec (conformant to OpenAPI Spec)
XML Schema
Each message in the connectKit is specified as the minimum required data components required to support their associated processes. They should be understood as a starting point for integrations that will be an accelerator for biopharmaceutical-industry manufacturers, their suppliers, and their customers. Manufacturing laboratories may choose to implement portions of the connectKit that address their pain-points to provide process efficiencies and value, so they can focus on running the business.
Each message is a carefully selected subset of components (profile) from a much larger and complete message standard managed by OAGi called OAGIS. OAGi uses a cutting-edge tool called Score to maintain the OAGIS and the message profiles derived from it. Any requirement that is not supported by an connectKit message can be quickly updated using Score to produce an updated message profile to meet the needs of the new requirements. In the event that a requirement emerges that is new to OAGIS overall, OAGi’s rapid standards-development process can address the requirement in as little as one week.
