UN/CEFACT
Supply Chain Reference Data Model (SCRDM)Anticipating and Following Technological Trends
in eBusiness Data Exchanges
Moscow, 7/8 December 2017 International Conference on Single Window
Rolf Wessel, UN/CEFACT ExpertGerhard Heemskerk, UN/CEFACT Expert
Introduction• This presentation will provide you information on the UN/CEFACT
Supply Chain Reference Data Model (SCRDM) • The Supply Chain Reference Data Model, started in 2015, is based
on existing business data requirements published by UN/CEFACT. • By using Reference Data Models we are anticipating and following
technological trends, such as single window, data pipelines and blockchain concepts.
• UN/CEFACT is running several other projects investigating how to leverage UN/CEFACT assets for these technological trends.
• Important in business information exchanges is sound semantics (understandable, structured and globally applicable).
• The UN/CEFACT Supply Chain Reference Data Model is already in use - the Cross Industry Invoice is the first message derived from it.

What is a UN/CEFACT Reference Data Model?• An exchange syntax neutral semantic model.
• A subset of the UN/CEFACT Core Component Library (CCL)
• A collection of business artefacts contextualized for a domain.
• It includes a ‘common master’ message structure from which messages can be derived.
• The business artefacts can be contextualized on different semantic levels (e.g. library/process/message).
• Based on the principles laid down in UN Layout Key, UN Trade Data Element Directory and UN/EDIFACT.
• Based on UN/CEFACT principles of harmonization, standardization and simplification.

Benefits of UN/CEFACT Reference Data Models
5
• Based on an internationally accepted standardized & harmonized business entity library (CCL).
• Covering the data requirements of all processes across international supply and transport contracts.
• Supporting information sharing, such as enabled by data pipelines• Efficient reuse of data shared within the BUY-SHIP-PAY domain
model (contextualization of business artefacts and structures).• A common basis for implementing, semantics separated from
syntax (XML or EDIFACT).• Integrated international code lists (UNECE Rec. Code lists,
UN/EDIFACT code lists, ISO code lists etc).• Available to all - free of charge - and all can participate in
developments.

The UN/CEFACT evolution
8
• From document centric to process driven artefacts* (contextualized business artefacts)
• Supporting document centric & process driven workflows
• Standardized syntax-neutral data exchange structures, based on a ‘common master” message structure (complete documents and/or snippets of documents can be created)
