OSS through Java

OSS/J (a.k.a. OSS through Java) is a TM Forum{{Cite web|url=https://www.tmforum.org/|title=TM Forum - Accelerating Industry Transformation Through Collaboration|website=TM Forum}} technical program whose primary goal is to develop open interface standards (APIs) for the integration of Business Support Systems (BSS) & Operations Support System (OSS).

OSS/J addresses the concerns of Frameworx implementation stakeholders by providing open standard APIs based on the NGOSS framework, particularly the Frameworx Shared Information/Data Model (SID). Work is underway to organize the OSS/J APIs against the NGOSS Telecom Application Map (TAM).

The OSS/J APIs are multi-technology based and include Java, XML, and Web Services integration profiles. Each integration profile consists of specifications, a reference implementation, and a conformance test suite (TCK).

The OSS/J APIs are developed under the Java Community Process{{cite web|url=http://jcp.org |title=jcp.org |publisher=jcp.org |date= |access-date=2013-01-26}} and can be downloaded for free{{cite web|url=http://www.tmforum.org/OSSJ/OSSJAPIs/2923/Home.html |title=Standardized Interfaces - OSS/J - OSS/J |publisher=TM Forum |date= |access-date=2013-01-26}} from the TM Forum OSS/J web site.{{cite web|url=http://www.tmforum.org/OSSJ/2896/home.html |title=Standardized Interfaces - OSS/J - OSS/J |publisher=TM Forum |date= |access-date=2013-01-26}}
