tourgeek Blog - My blog has step-by-step instructions for working with opentravel messages using open source software. Creating web services using REST and SOAP. opentravel.org on Android. You name it!
openaxis.org -
This set of standards is more focused on airline capabilities than opentravel.org.
The schema set is very comprehensive, but the schema itself is very low quality.
Open Axis does things like mixing case on included schema. Open Axis has many XML elements with no type definition.
Many of the Open Axis schemas have no target namespace.
This means you probably can't use most schema tools and binding utilities with openaxis. I've tried.
IATA - New Distribution Capability (NDC) -
This is a new standard being developed bu IATA. We'll have to wait and see how this standard progresses.
Current status: vaporware.
