1. U NITED N ATIONS C ENTRE F OR T RADE F ACILITATION A ND E LECTRONIC B USINESS Under the auspices of United Nations Economic Commission for Europe UN/CEFACT Techniques and Methodologies Group (TMG) Submission from OASIS CAM TC

2. UN/CEFACT Focus How to leverage the work already done by CCTS, Registry and CAM technical committees and TMG. Provide enabling technology that delivers on core functionality using the UMM / ebXML solution stack. Drive further adoption of CCTS by enabling use of XML-enabled tools in the development process. Utilize existing open source components to minimize development efforts and maximize re-use potential. Provide coupling between UMM, UML, CCTS, Registry and deployment solutions.

3. UN/CEFACT UMM Partner Model ReferenceInstantiation BDVPartner Process Model BRVPartner Collaboration model + implementation Select processes Select collaborations  Constrain implementation Mapping Elaboration How do we do this in an SOA implementation? ?

4. UN/CEFACT Needs = BTV – business document Contextually constrained business document composition Include attributes of an entity only where appropriate Content validation based on usage context

5. UN/CEFACT Needs = BSV – message guideline Business document structure Data definition e.g. min,max, lexical representation, data type Validation constraints Consistent entity structure

6. UN/CEFACT CAM Template = BTV + BSV + CCTS  Context driven structural definitions  Uses simple XML syntax mechanisms  Supports links to CCTS definitions in Registry  Implementation guideline formalized as declarative XML script business rules  CAM templates can be generated by UML models  Library of 20+ predicates for structure manipulation and content restriction  ‘Codelist’ support + versioning to attribute level  Runtime validation of exchange transactions  Can reference non-XML legacy instances

8. UN/CEFACT CAM today  V1.0 of specification OASIS Committee Approved.  Open source jCAM implementation (http://www.jcam.org.uk )http://www.jcam.org.uk  Integrated with Hermes ebMS server so ebXML message exchange is validated by CAM under CPA control and Registry profile management (http://ebxmlbook.com/interop/ )http://ebxmlbook.com/interop/  Existing work on “business noun” semantics in Registry (enables links to CCTS library)  Content Validation Services for Registry V3.
