The Multi-Enterprise cCommerce Framework

Interoperable, open, global, B2B ‘standard’ Complex solution and SME support Leveraging existing technologies and

standards Integration of business processes:

By electronic means Independent of the technical solution. Allowing business processes and technologies to evolve

independently


ebXML Focus Areas Semantic Framework

Meta-model for defining business process A set of re-useable core components

(common business semantics) Infrastructure

Transport, Routing, Packaging Business Service Interface Collaboration Protocol Profiles/Agreements Shared repository network

company profiles, business process models and related message structures

Terminology

Define for trading partners:

• Role and Role interactions• Relationships• Responsibilities• Business Transactions


Core Components Designed to capture:

• Business concepts (commonality)• Relationship between business

concepts• Individual pieces (objects) of business

information in a context

Format:• Syntax Neutral• Can contain other core components• Uniquely identified (GUid)• Facilitate multi-lingual support


Sample Core ComponentTrading Partners

ID (DUNS) Address

CityNumber and

StreetState

Logical Business Group

Aggregate CoreComponent

Basic Core Components


Semantic Reconciliation Categories of CCs in a tree-

structure All uniquely defined in a repository Define your BP and CCs Map against the tree (find GUids) Derive message structure Names/Tags are irrelevant


Registry & Repositories Registry points to Repositories Retrieval of collaboration profiles

Repository of relationships(Business Processes)

Rules for exchanging information Repository of Core Components

Industry Sector equivalents Multi-language


Registry Repository of data relationships

Rules for exchanging information Publicly available documents models

Examples: DTD, schemas… Retrieval of profiles

Secured access - authentication Registry of services and clients Simple to use globally Easily discoverable via internet Scalability Based on industry standards


Collaboration Protocol Profile

XML Document (incl DTD)

Information on business capabilities

Can contain: Party Information Transport Protocol Transport Security Protocol Messaging Protocol Time Out/Retry Information

TransportStructure


Challenges Capturing Business Semantics Repository based semantic

reconciliation Defining the Road-map Removing barriers in Europe SME involvement


Migration Issues UN/EDIFACT is still the world

standard Migration to ebXML will take place

From all standards (XML and EDI) Experiment with XML…learn! Describe your own BP and CCs Define your CPP Use XML messages derived from EDI


The way forward New structure for UN/CEFACT Participate! Definition of CCs is coming All industry groups need to do

some homework This is a fundamental, but slow

process
