BDI for developers

As a developer, you should be able to implement the BDI easily. It is important here that you get enough support from directors and management. That is why this website has an extensive explanation of the BDI and the benefits and principles on which this framework is based.

Many useful tools

As a developer, you have access to several tools and publications that help you specify working with the BDI down to the smallest detail, from introductory materials to information about creating a BDI association. This is a partnership in which you and your chain partners ensure that data for all your processes can be shared in a controlled manner. 

Getting started one step at a time

To make things as easy as possible, implementation of the BDI is subdivided into three phases. In each phase, you will be using specific tools and references based on the BDI Building Blocks [link]. In certain phases, Connekt collaborates with various BDI service provision partners

Phase 1

The BDI Developer Portal is your starting point for exploring the options of the BDI. This portal offers an extensive set of tools for both novice and highly experienced developers. Experiment with the core functionalities of the BDI and the principles on which this framework is based. This provides practical experience, gives you insight into the BDI architecture and allows you to discover how to integrate the framework effectively into your projects.

Phase 2

Once you have explored enough options, you will not have to reinvent the ‘BDI wheel’ all by yourself: check out GitHub to see which existing third-party software you can use.

Phase 3

To help you with the actual implementation of the BDI, you will require a number of software development kits that are described in the reference architecture.
