Many organizations have greeted the 2006 ACORD LOMA Insurance Systems Forum by releasing new and improved products.
ACORD, Pearl River, N.Y., used the Las Vegas event to show off a preliminary version of its Single Business Data/Information Dictionary, the first component of its ACORD Standards Framework.
The dictionary contains more than 10,000 identified business terms, definitions and mappings, according to ACORD.
ACORD hopes to release what it describes as a “full harmonized dictionary” for review by ACORD members by Sept. 30.
In other technology product news:
