OXDIG News

Though you may not see a lot of changes on our website, the OXDIG group has been pretty busy behind the scenes!  Over the past year members of our group have been actively involved in moving the UDX standard thru various standards organizations with great progress.  Both the ISO and ADA are reviewing versions of the UDX for adoption and/or integration with their respective standards.  Stay tuned and check back for updates.  In the meantime, use our forums to ask questions of the other members or our Technical Working Group - they're continuing to advance the UDX standard thru refinements and extensions that are periodically released.  If you have suggestions, comments, or just need help understanding how to implement a part of the UDX our forums are the best place to go.

UDX Version 2.0.1 has been released and can now be found in the downloads section of our website.  This version is a significant update and streamlines the UDX schema to allow for more compact UDX documents. It also adds more versatility in describing data and enhances support for CAD files.   UDX 2.0.1 is the version that has been submitted to ISO and ADA for review.

 

OXDIG has released UDX 1.26.  This new release is backward compatible with 1.25 and adds support for Implants and additional comments on Rx Orders.  
 

UDX 1.25 has been officially released! This version of the UDX adds extensions to better support CAD files, especially CAD Design and CAD Scan files.  It also includes better support for international phone numbers and the ability to reference previously submitted orders as "remakes" and returns and adjustments.  Documentation and some sample UDX xml files are included with the XSD in the downloadable zip file. 

The OXDIG Connect-A-Thon held in Chicago, preceding the Mid-Winter show was sucessful in demonstrating the exchange of dental order & manufacturing information between systems from different companies.  

UDX version 1.25 is nearing finalization and should be posted in the public download area within the next several weeks (if not sooner).  1.25 has garnered a lot of interest because of its support for CAD scan & design data and a more robust payload (file-attachment) management. 

 

The Technical Working Group is about to release UDX 1.24 with support for exchanging Product Catalogs.  They are now seeking feedback, suggestions and requests for new features, elements, enumerations, etc. to be adopted for inclusion in the next release.  If you have dental data exchange needs that the current UDX specification is not meeting this is the time to participate! Leave your comments, requests, feedback and suggestions in the Forums.
 

The Wiki is being updated to include full documentation on all nodes and elements. It's a work in progress and we appreciate any help and contributions (examples, spell checks, etc.).  If you don't see what you need to help understand or implement the UDX specification(s) send us an email and we'll try to get more info posted quickly.   

A new URL folder has been created on the OXDIG.org site allowing for public reference of the the released UDX XSD files.  The latest released UDX XSD can now be linked or referenced at:  http://www.oxdig.org/schema/udx_v1.23.xsd .  Additional older XSD versions will be posted shortly at the same http://www.oxdig.org/schema/ location follwoing the same naming convention :  "UDX_v<version>.xsd".
 

UDX Schema version 1.23 has been released and posted to the file downloads sections.  This release adds support for requesting information (Query), submitting changes to previous submissions (Updates) and sending/receiving notifications as well as some minor tweaks and corrections to the existing Order Submission schema. 

OXDIG.org has just added a Wiki to help document the UDX standards.  It can be accessed from main menu or by clicking here.  The UDX Wiki will evolve and grow as more and more content is added.
