O.K.I. specifications enable sustainable interoperability and integration by defining standards for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The OKI Consortium was formed by The Institute for Electronic Governance of Andra Pradesh, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the California State University system to raise the level of interoperability among the components of information systems used in education, government services and other applications.
