ISO/IEC Information Technologies – Open-edi reference model

 3 rd edition (ISO/IEC 14662:2010) published in February  English and French version  No technical changes.

ISO/IEC : Operational aspects of Open-edi for implementation  The multipart standard of ISO/IEC is more concrete than ISO/IEC  Characteristics of Open-edi  Actions based on predefined rules;  Commitment of the parties involved;  Communications among parties are automated  Parties control and maintain their states;  Parties act autonomously;  Multiple simultaneous transactions can be supported.

ISO/IEC : Operational aspects of Open-edi for implementation  Key components of a business transaction  Person(always capitalized “P”): entity, a natural or legal person, recognized by law as having legal rights and duties, able to make commitment(s), assume and fulfil resulting obligation(s), and able to be held accountable for its action(s).  Process: series of actions or events taking place in a defined manner leading to the accomplishment of an expected result.  Data (Business transaction): representation of recorded information that are being prepared in a form suitable for use in a computer sytem.

ISO/IEC : Registration of scenarios and their components as business objects  Principles for registration  OeRI (Open-edi Registry Item) identifiers  Roles and responsbilities in the management of Open-edi registers (About the organizations)  Registration authority and operations (About OeRIs)  Register schema(Adoption of the ISO 19135:2005 register schema)

ISO/IEC :Open-edi Description Techniques  Under development  Developed for years but now has a re-orientation  Closely related to UMM.  The project editor has been an active UMM contributor for multiple years, and he is presently working in UN/CEFACT on a UMM specialization module that integrates many of the declarative and procedural constructs of ISO/IEC  Draft CD3 will be discussed in this meeting  Final CD3 is expected to be finished in August 2010.

ISO/IEC : the Open-edi Accounting & Economic Ontology  Published in 2007  General view Ontology of Open-edi concepts Use REA as an ontological framework Economic Resource Economic Event Person (Economic Agent) resource-flow duality from to

 General view Independent view of the Business collaboration, instead of the trader partner view. Central concept: Open-edi Business Transaction Ontology (OeBTO) “ Formal, rule-based, specification and definition of the concepts pertaining to business transactions and scenarios and the relationships that hold among those concepts.” Incorporates commitment exchange, in addition to information exchange Requires the use of clear and pre-defined rules, principles, and guidelines Neutral in terms of technology, representation, and application Covers all areas of business transactions The semantics of the concepts represented in the OeBTO are explicitly specified and constrained. Declarative Component of OeBTO, & Procedural component of an OeBTO ISO/IEC : the Open-edi Accounting & Economic Ontology

ISO/IEC : identification and referencing of requirements of jurisdictional domain as sources of external constraints  Objectives of Part 5  Introduction of external constraints in business transaction modeling  Address specific aspects of business agreement semantic descriptive techniques in order to be able to support legal requirements in modeling business transactions  Present a methodology and tools for specifying common classes of external constraints through the construct of “jurisdictional domain” (with various levels and categories of jurisdictional domains)  Demonstrate that external constraints of a jurisdictional domain lend themselves to being modeled through scenarios and scenario components (already demonstrated in Annex I, Part 1)

 Major Topics of Part 5  Key common requirements of jurisdictional domains include: that of official language(s) or if not applicable, its de facto language that of the need to be able to differentiate when a Person in a business transaction in the role of “buyer” is an individual that where an individual if a party to a business transaction common public policy requirements apply as external constraints including consumer protection, privacy protection, individual accessibility, and other rights that a “human being” has.  Focus on ensuring unambiguity in the semantic components and information bundles comprising a business transaction as these are used in the making of binding “commitments”  Extensive work on “official, de facto and “legally recognized languages (LRL)”, importance of gender in language to support semantic unambiguity, use of human interface equivalents(HIEs)  Extensive set of detailed normative and informative Annexes ISO/IEC : identification and referencing of requirements of jurisdictional domain as sources of external constraints

ISO/IEC : Technical Introduction of eBusiness modelling  TR Published in November 2009  Objectives of this TR  Introduction to common understandings of Business Modeling for the inter-enterprise Business Collaborations  Modeling Guideline particularly focused on the inter-enterprise business process in a collaboration space where buyer, seller and various third party are involved  Major topics  Concepts and Principles of e-Business Modeling  Classification Scheme to identify the class and type of Business Transactions  Key Attributes for Classification of Business Transactions

ISO/IEC : eBusiness Vocabulary  Objectives  Published on November  Single consolidated vocabulary of eBusiness concepts (their definitions and terms) as found in the ISO/IEC Open-edi Reference Model and the existing Parts of the multipart ISO/IEC eBusiness standard (including definitions and their terms used taken from other int’l ISO standards)  Provide rules, guidelines and procedures governing the formation of definitions for concepts relevant to eBusiness and choice of associated terms as a single harmonized and integrated controlled vocabulary. This includes rules governing multilingual expandability that integrate and support cultural adaptability requirements via human interface equivalents (HIEs)  Identify the essential data elements for each entry, their rules and specifications as well as rules for ensuring quality and integrity control requirements for each entry and their interworking doing so in an IT-enabled manner.  1 st edition already contains Chinese, English, French & Russian equivalents for eBusiness concepts and their definitions as well as (grammatical) gender codes for terms where applicable in a language

ISO/IEC : Identification of privacy requirement as external constraints on business transactions  FCD ballot finished  Objectives  Provide method(s), rules required to support the additional BOV specifications applicable to the recorded information in a business transaction where such is of the nature of “personal information”, i.e. pertaining to an identifiable “individual”  Provide fundamental principles governing privacy protection requirements in business transactions (external constraints perspective only)  Integrate normative and informative elements in support of privacy and data protection requirements (as already found in ISO/IEC and existing Parts of ISO/IEC into a single document (These constitute 90%+ of the CD document)  Focus on identifiable living individuals as buyers in a business transaction  Link to information management life cycle (ILCM) requirements but focus on “collaboration space” aspects and not internal behaviors of an organization or public administration (that are excluded as are Functional Service View (FSV) aspects including security services)

ISO/IEC : Open-edi traceability framework  Working draft status.  Principles and assumptions of traceability that affects business transactions  A generic traceability model  Open-edi collaboration space and traceability roles of Persons  Rules and guidelines for open-edi components that is required by the legal needs  Traceability requirements as external constraints to business transaction  Templates of attributes for open-edi scenarios, roles, and information bundle  Annexes

ISO/IEC : Coded domains  CD ballot successful  Fundamental principles  Rules governing rule-base and identification component of a coded domain and its ID codes  Rules for change management of a coded domain and its ID codes  Rules for specifying human interface equivalents to coded domains  Coded domain and controlled vocabularies  Rules governing the registration of coded domains as re- useable business objects  IT-enablement of coded domains
