Workgroups

Standards

Syndication
The Syndication Work Group will focus on create a standardized listing data and transport specification that makes it easy for brokers to syndicate their listings to multiple sites.

Compliance Testing
The Compliance Testing Workgroup is responsible for developing tools to test the compliance of RETS implementations.

Data and Schemas
The purpose of the group is to define the standard names, data dictionary and XML Schemas for instance documents that contain MLS information. Data is the heart of the standard and this workgroup has been one of the most active in recent months and promises to continue to be so in the coming months as the revised Standard Names list is being finalized for voting at the March meeting and increased interest in Tax and Public Records will result in revisions to the schema and standard names.

Update
Making listing entry easier and reducing the amount of duplicate listing entry for brokers and agents are key goals for the Update workgroup.

Transport
The mission of the Transport Workgroup is to provide technical processes for analyzing extensions to transport methods in current and future versions of the RETS specification.

 Business

Outreach & Education
Build excitement and awareness through Education and Outreach around the RETS Standard and how it benefits REALTORS® and the Real Estate Industry.

 

Research and Development 

The purpose of the RESO Research & Development Workgroup is to solicit and review submitted business cases from the real estate community and identify how RESO can contribute to the benefit of that business process 

 

Website Update  

Each person interested in becoming a Workgroup Participant must join the Workgroup via a Sign Up form placed on the Workgroup page on RETS.org. Each Workgroup page displays the Sign Up form. Once participants have registered, the Workgroup participants will nominate and vote for a Chairperson, Vice Chairperson and Scribe. If you are interested in acting in one of these roles, please post your interest to the forum for the workgroup you are interested in leading.

Now is the time to become involved in RETS. RETS affects every person in the real estate community, don’t sit by and let others make decisions for you. Let your voice be heard, take action and become involved. There has long been a misconception that progress on the RETS specification can only be made by technical people. While most of the nuts and bolts depend on technical minds, the general direction in which RETS moves is also driven by the community who depends on it. As with any product, the users of the final product see things differently from the creators.
