e-Freight receives funding from the EC FP7 Sustainable Surface Transport Programme Busdox – Business Document Interchange 8 Preparing the e-freight Access Point Architecture Service Metadata Locator (SML): The SML is the key component of enabling the register for exchange of business documents. ROOT PKI (Circle of trust) The ROOT PKI is used to create the core circle of trust between AP’s, SMP’s and SML. Together with the usage of SAML Sender Vouches assertion tokens this create a flexible – yet trustworthy – 4-corner model for realising the foundation of electronic documents exchange The BusDox specifications Is now target of a OASIS technical committee working on the standardization of the current specification

e-Freight receives funding from the EC FP7 Sustainable Surface Transport Programme Simple, Easy to Use and… little investment requirements Development and Integration cannot not be mandatory, SME’s must be able to use off-the- shelf compatible apps Guidance and Support for legacy system integration must be a part of the overall architecture, even if this interface will be the last to be developed

e-Freight receives funding from the EC FP7 Sustainable Surface Transport Programme Semantics Profiles define na actor comunicaion capability. Profiles represent a process not a message, in processes a conversation or protocol envolving a set of messages is clearly defined All profiles have a core imutable version, ensuring minimum compatability, but can be extended using conbinations ofspecific modules for specific scenarios THERE ARE NO “IMPLEMENTATION GUIDES”

e-Freight receives funding from the EC FP7 Sustainable Surface Transport Programme Technical Overview 11 E-Delivery Infra-structure

e-Freight receives funding from the EC FP7 Sustainable Surface Transport Programme INTERNET The e-Delivery Infrastructure Major LSP’s and LSC’s EAP SME’s (LSP’s and LSC’s) EAP E- freight App EAP E-freight Compatible solutions (e.g. NSW, authorities, GDS, Shipping Portals) E-freight Compatible solutions (e.g. NSW, authorities, GDS, Shipping Portals) E-freight service providers will have to be able to interconnect, building a global network. This is a similar model to the one supporting today! AppStore EAP Existing system Legacy system

e-Freight receives funding from the EC FP7 Sustainable Surface Transport Programme INTERNET Single connections point for applications, able to relay information to other access points. Can be implemented in-house if data security or privacy is a concern. This is a decision comparable to use an external provider or implement the server in-house. Actors declare support for profiles, ensuring interoperability at the semantic level Extensible to host other services like Stores, Tracking,TSD or STD repository E-freight Access Points Major LSP’s and LSC’s EAP SME’s (LSP’s and LSC’s) EAP E- freig ht App EAP E-freight Compatible solutions (e.g. NSW, authorities, GDS, Shipping Portals) E-freight Compatible solutions (e.g. NSW, authorities, GDS, Shipping Portals) EAP Existi ng syste m Lega cy syste m Access Points
