1. Common Business Processes Catalog
TBG 14 - BPA Presentation
Common Business Processes Catalog
2004

2. Common Business Process Catalog
Objective of Presentation
To report on Progress with two Projects
- Catalog Specification Project
- Proof of Concept Project
Seek Input for next steps

3. What is the common business process catalog ?
A business library
Hosted in a Global Registry/Repository
Containing details of common business processes
Where businesses can “publish” and find processes used by other trading partners
Classified so as to provide ease of identifying candidate processes
And support references to Core Components, BPSS etc
and support e-business in accordance with UN/CEFACT standards

4. CBPC Specification The technical specification of the CBPC
Is now available as Version 0.95 on the TBG web site
Available for Comment/Approval prior to its issue as
Version 2.0 of the specification
The Specification includes :-
- CBPC Information Model
- Classification Scheme
to classify Business Areas and Business Process Areas
- Guides to Usage of Catalog etc.

6. Store, query and integrate business process artifacts, such as:
Usage of CBPC
Store, query and integrate business process artifacts, such as:
Process descriptions and instances
Reusable business transactions
Can provide the capability to associate key business elements:
Business processes
Business documents
Information elements (e.g., BIE, CC)
Facilitate other business and technical operational components. Provide inputs for:
Technical agreements
Electronic exchange

7. Global Registry Content Life Cycle
Key Issue: What are the recent trends in offshore sourcing, and how will current events impact the market?
Strategic Planning Assumption: By 2005, offshore development will shift to global sourcing based on collaborative relationships across geographies, enabled by common infrastructure (0.8 probability).

During the last decade, the market for offshore IT services evolved considerably from a time when foreign IT resources were primarily based in the United States and serviced the market’s need for on-site contract workers. The offshore services model gained acceptance, especially from 1995 to 2000, as enterprise resource planning implementations, year 2000 projects and Internet enablement issues created a deep demand/supply imbalance for IT resources.
In the current environment, the structures for accessing offshore IT services develop from on-site contract worker to global sourcing relationships through a network of service providers, each evolutionary stage based on increasing stability, scalability and persistence of services. We see today, even in a recessionary economy, some Indian IT service providers enjoying high growth rates while comparable U.S. enterprises experience flat to negative growth.
U.S. enterprises and IT service providers need to develop their global sourcing strategies to take advantage of an almost-inevitable shift in the IT resource supply paradigm.
Action Item: Enterprises should monitor the impact that offshore firms will have on the current strategies of leading ESPs.

ClassificationScheme instances are RegistryEntry instances that describe a structured way to classify or categorize RegistryObject instances. The structure of the classification scheme may be defined internal or external to the registry, resulting in a distinction between internal and external classification schemes.
ClassificationNode instances are RegistryObject instances that are used to define tree structures under a ClassificationScheme, where each node in the tree is a ClassificationNode and the root is the ClassificationScheme.
Classification instances are RegistryObject instances that are used to classify
other RegistryObject instances. A Classification instance identifies a ClassificationScheme instance and taxonomy value defined within the classification scheme.

Notes for Page 16
Implemented a prototype system:
1. Core scenarios: Used OAG STAR Business Object Documents (BOD), which were stored in Reg/Rep (OAGIS nouns and verbs).
2. Core business processes – BP and CPA. General Motors mandated the CPA.
Focused on business collaboration first.
RI Detailed Description
The ebXML Registry Repository version 2.0 (Reg/Rep) was used to discover, classify, store and query the documents and trading partner relationships associated with the ebXML RI. These documents include the Collaboration Protocol Profile (CPPs), Collaboration Protocol Agreements (CPAs), Business Process Specifications (BPSS), Core Components (CC) or OAG BODs, and document type definitions (DTDs).
The following is a short list of the accomplishments associated with the RI:
·Provided the first fully 2.0-compliant Reg/Rep implementation available in the market.
·Provided a JAXR pluggable provider implementation.
·Provided a SOAP tool for submitting documents with attachments to the Reg/Rep.
·Designed and submitted the meta-data classification schema that describes the organization of the RI documents.
·Provided a swing-based GUI browser customized for the ebXML demo.
·Provided a Java web-start-based browser and access to a global registry.
·Provided security including authentication and authorization using user profiles and digital certificates.
·Provided audit trail for the stored objects.

14. BIZ-REG Registry
This is the home page . User can search the catalog without login . Browse and drill down option and CBPC query link can be used to discover Catalog.

15. Discovery phase – Browse and drill down
UN-CEFACT reference model shown in slide is equivalent to the Porter value chain . Provide purchase order is a business transaction and is appearing under Procurement/Sales/Negotiation . CBPC root node contain additional metadata like Economic agent, Role , Context etc as Child node of CBPC classification scheme.

16. Discovery phase – Parameter based search
User can select any of the parameter shown in slide and can input keyword and will find the result at the bottom of the page . For example provide purchase order has been keyed in and the search result has been shown at the bottom . Clicking on red link show the details of this transaction.

17. Populate Catalog ….Contd.
This page appears after submitting the data in previous slide . User can Click on individual tab like Classification , Association, External identification , External Link, Slot etc to provide the addition metadata for Transaction I.e Provide purchase order. In this slide ,Association tab appears in yellow color means this is the active tab and user can use button Role , Business, Event etc appearing below to get the corresponding screen and add the necessary data. In the above slide Role details are appearing at bottom after the addition.
