European eInvoicing example How it could work

using ‘core’ semantics Can we speak in English ?

a human analogy English is the business language of the global village but we risk getting lost in translation. Foundation library is large, complex and ambiguous Globish is a ‘core’ controlled vocabulary for humans A “lingua franca” or bridging language. A “core” English. Provides a semantic reference. Globish allows you to: Communicate in English, using only 1500 words. Employ simple, but standard grammatical structure. Learn enough pronunciation and spelling for 1500 words only. Lead a conversation in business anywhere in the world. Agree common semantics. Continue to speak local languages within each community.

Potential Impact on UN/CEFACT programme of Work UN/CEFACT Revised Technical Framework Potential Impact on UN/CEFACT programme of Work

potential impact on programme of work UN/CEFACT projects will develop Profiles ‘Deliverables for Information’ rather then ‘Standards’ ‘core’ industry rather than ‘cross’ industry Generic semantics rather than documents, syntax or formats Similar, but not same as BRS and RSM Processes, rules and requirements Formalized business rules Semantic reference models Other activities… Develop guidelines Assist in implementation support Develop UNECE Recommendations Such as Recommendations to use certain specifications or standards As with EDIFACT, Layout Key, Codes, etc.. Attract more business expertise

what happens to current libraries?

what happens to current BRSs? UN/CEFACT UN/CEFACT Projects (approved by Bureau) Sectoral PDA Agriculture Domain eCert Crop Data Sheet E-Lab Agriculture Domain BRSs developed as Profiles and approved by projects Registered with self conformance in a UN/CEFACT repository Published as UN/CEFACT Deliverables for Information Core Interoperable Foundation Library Supply Chain PDA Procurement Domain CI-* CEFM eTendering

UN/CEFACT Revised Technical Framework What needs to happen

ISO/PDTR 18689 Technical Report Scope Terms and definitions Symbols and abbreviated terms Scope of involved organizations Current work programs Identified issues Analysis The "Open Data Interchange Framework” Recommendations

Scope This Technical Report identifies technical specifications and standards that are being maintained, developed or given consideration in work programmes of UN/CEFACT and ISO/TC 154 and strategies that respond to stakeholder requirements for the open interchange of structured data in support of administration, commerce and trade. This may include work from Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) other than ISO and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE).

Summary simple, pragmatic and facilitative… and achievable Technical Framework: Focus on ‘core’ standards Collaborate with SDOs to provide supporting methodologies and technologies Strengthen maintenance for EDIFACT Organizational: More business than technology More maintenance than development Focus on meeting real market requirements Strategic: Interoperability foundation for communities of use (Single Windows, Public Procurement, Finance, regional, industry, etc…) Not doing everything, but ensuring everything is done. Not what we were, but what we can be. simple, pragmatic and facilitative… and achievable
