CPO StandardsBy Tim Farlow

Approved CPO Standards

Person NamePostal AddressDateTime Data TypesEffective DatingContact MethodEntity Identifiers

Person Name

The most commonly used attribute in HR transactionsHR transactions in use today use many different schemas to represent namesMany of these schemas today do a poor job of handling the many ways Name structure varies from country to country

Examples - DutchMevr. Maria de Wit<PersonName>

<GivenName>Maria</GivenName><FamilyName prefix=’de’>Wit</FamilyName><Affix type=”formOfAddress”>Mevr.</Affix>

</PersonName>

<PersonName><FormattedName>Mevr. Maria de Wit</FormattedName>

</PersonName>

Examples - MexicanSr. Fernando Martínez Urrutia<PersonName>

<GivenName>Fernando</GivenName><FamilyName>Martinez Urrutia</FamilyName><Affix type=”formOfAddress”>Sr.</Affix>

</PersonName>

<PersonName><GivenName>Fernando</GivenName><FamilyName primary=”false”>Martinez</FamilyName><FamilyName primary=”true”>Urrutia</FamilyName><Affix type=”formOfAddress”>Sr.</Affix>

</PersonName>

Schema

Affix Types

aristocraticTitle - e.g. Baron, Graf, Earl, etc.formOfAddress - contains the Salutation, e.g. Mr.,

Mrs., Hon., Dr., Major, etc.generation - e.g. Sr., Jr., III (the third),etc.qualification - contains the letters used to describe

academic or other type qualifications held by a person and/or the distinctions conferred upon them. e.g. PhD, MD, CPA, MCSD, etc.

History

Person Name 1.0 – Initial release, defined using DTDsPerson Name 1.1 – Added better support for prefixes, affixes, and legal namesPerson Name 1.2 – Same design, but translated into XML Schema

Implementation ConsiderationsMultiple last namesDifferent names for different situations (stage names, aliases, etc.)Different alphabets (Kana, Romaji, etc.)InitialsHyphenated namesPeople with a single nameMaiden namesLegal names

Documentation IncludesOverviewSchema and DTD design, with explanations for each element and attributeReference examples from 14 countriesImplementation considerationsKnown limitationsHistoryRelated documentsImplementation examples

Postal Address

A container allowing business processes to pass address information reliably and completely, and in a format that can be efficiently processedThe container houses the various sections that make up a postal address as it is used from country to country, with a country code that enables formatting according to local postal rules

Examples - USASanthi Mwanza 4982 Euclid Ave Minneapolis, MN 50493-1234

<PostalAddress> <CountryCode>US</CountryCode> <PostalCode>50493-1234</PostalCode> <Region>MN</Region> <Municipality>Minneapolis</Municipality> <DeliveryAddress>

<StreetName>Euclid Ave</StreetName> <BuildingNumber>4982</BuildingNumber>

</DeliveryAddress> <Recipient>

<PersonName> <GivenName>Santhi</GivenName> <FamilyName>Mwanza</FamilyName>

</PersonName> </Recipient> </PostalAddress>

Examples - BrazilRua Fresi, nº 470 apto. 201. Bairro Ancha. Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Brasil. 30320-500

<PostalAddress> <CountryCode>BR</CountryCode> <PostalCode>30320-500</PostalCode> <Region>Minas Gerais.</Region> <Municipality>Belo Horizonte</Municipality> <DeliveryAddress>

<AddressLine>Rua Fresi, nº 470</AddressLine> <AddressLine>apto. 201. Bairro Ancha.</AddressLine>

</DeliveryAddress> </PostalAddress>

Schema

Implementation Considerations

Country codes, names, and translationsRecipient name passed elsewhereBest use of AddressLine elementsMultiple addressesFormatting charactersMail stops, ‘c/o’, etc.Military addressesExamples from 16 countries

DateTime Data TypesXML Schema has datetime data types, but these basic types needed extensions for use in HRExtensions needed when we want to specify:

just a date vs. a date with a time, and sometimes a timezone specifier. Example - new hire date vs. an accident date and time.open ended dates. Example - passing an employee termination date for an employee who is not terminatedPassing unknown dates. Example the hire date is not available.

DateTime Data Types

We created data types that can be used to enforce these restrictionsAll data types are strings that are compatible with Schema’s datetime types, but add the different combinations of restrictions28 data types with a naming convention

Examples

2002-07-15T10:30+01:00DateTimeType

2002-07-15notApplicable

LocalDateNaType

2002-07-15notKnown

LocalDateNkType

2002-07-15LocalDateType

Implementation Considerations

Lists 4 questions to answer when selecting the correct date time data typeDefault valuesStart and end date inclusivityDTD versus schema

Effective Dating

This standard has no schema!Provides clear, concise terms for discussing effective datingIncludes guidelines use of effective dating in HR-XML Consortium standards

Guidelines

When to use Transaction Date/Time vs. Effective Date/TimeHow to determine the granularity required for effective datingHow to use Effective Dating with different types of processes, i.e. Inserts vs. ModificationsWhen to use the various types in the DateTime Data Types when applying effective and transaction dating

Examples<EmploymentHistory>

<HireDate>2001-06-01</HireDate><TerminationDate>2002-02-16</TerminationDate>…

</EmploymentHistory>

<EmploymentHistory><HireDate>2001-06-01</HireDate><TerminationDate>notApplicable</TerminationDate>…


<EmploymentHistory><HireDate>2001-06-01</HireDate><TerminationDate>notKnown</TerminationDate>…


Contact MethodMany HR transactions need to pass contact informationEach contact person may have more than one method of contact –telephone, mobile phone, email address, SMS, fax, etc.Methods have use – business, business direct, personal, etc.Methods have location – office, car, home, etc.Methods have times of availability – weekends, 24x7, etc.

Example<Recruiter>…<ContactMethod>

<Use>direct</Use><Location>onPerson</Location><WhenAvailable>Weekdays</WhenAvailable><Mobile smsEnabled=“true”>

<InternationalCountryCode>44</InternationalCountryCode><AreaCityCode>7765</AreaCityCode><SubscriberNumber>402837</SubscriberNumber>

</Mobile><InternetEmailAddress>[email protected]</InternetEmailAddress>

</ContactMethod>

Supported DevicesTelephoneMobile phoneFaxPagerTTYTDDInternet AddressInternet Web AddressPostal Address

Schema

Entity Identifiers

HR transactions pass objects aroundA subsequent transaction may need to refer to objects passed in an earlier transactionObjects need identifiers for this to happenMuch like foreign keys in relational databases

Example<BenefitEnrollmentRequestList>

…<RequestToEnrollEmployee>

…<SenderEmplID validTo=“2003-01-01” idOwner=“Jobo Ltd”>

<IdValue name=“SubsidiaryID”>KD49</IdValue><IdValue name=“EmployeeID”>4853905</IdValue>

</SenderEmplID></ RequestToEnrollEmployee >

….</BenefitEnrollmentRequestList>

Schema

Standard Addresses:Identifiers made up of multiple partsAbility to describe within the data what the identifier representsIdentification of the issuer of an identifierEffective dating of an identifierManagement of identifier change as a business and transactional processMultiple identifiers for the same entity

Standard does not Address:

Guaranteeing the uniqueness of identifiersMethod of issuing identifiersTaxonomies of identification owners (such as company names or IDs, government names or country codes, etc.) or typical data used (such as Social Security Number, employee ID, driver’s license number, name, date of birth, etc.)

WSDLWSDL• An XML vocabulary for describing Web

services.• A service provider makes the WSDL

description of their service available• A service requestor uses the WSDL

description to invoke the service• Tools from IBM, Microsoft, etc., automate

generating and processing WSDL.

WSDL structureWSDL structure• A WSDL file is often broken into three

pieces:• An XML schema (.xsd) file that describes

data structures.• A WSDL file (.wsdl) that describes the

generic interface to a service. This file imports the .xsd file.

• A WSDL file (.wsdl) that describes a specific instance of a service. This file imports the generic .wsdl file.

Application viewApplication view• If you’re deploying a service, generate

the WSDL file and make it available, typically through your Web server.

• If you’re using a service, get the WSDL file and use it to build your SOAP request.

Discovery standardsDiscovery standards• There are currently two standards used

for Web services discovery:• UDDI, the Universal Discovery,

Description, and Integration protocol• WS-Inspection, the Web services

inspection language• We'll talk about these more in a minute.

Web services discoveryWeb services discovery• Easily the most overhyped and least

understood technology in the Web services universe:• "You'll write 8 or 10 lines of code, and

they'll go out on the Internet and discover other pieces of code, and you'll sit back and watch all your business processes get automated."

• Yeah, right.

WSDL and discoveryWSDL and discovery• The key idea here is that we want to

discover the WSDL file:• When we have the WSDL, we can build

the method call.• Of course, we need to make sure we’ve

discovered the correct WSDL file…

WSWS--Inspection and UDDIInspection and UDDI• There are two main approaches to

discovering the WSDL file:• Web Services Inspection Language

(WS-Inspection)• Universal Description, Discovery, and

Integration protocol (UDDI)

ibm.com

/developerWorks/w

ebservices


WSWS--InspectionInspection• With WS-Inspection, I know the host I

want to work with. • I go to that host and get a list of

services it provides, then I choose one.• Typically I get the file inspection.wsil; this is the index.html of Web services.

ibm.com

/developerWorks/w

ebservices


UDDI UDDI • With UDDI, I don’t know the host I

want to work with. • A UDDI registry is a SOAP application;

a client sends SOAP messages to the registry to find businesses, services, etc.

• When the client gets the information it needs, it contacts the service provider and invokes the service.

ibm.com

/developerWorks/w

ebservices


Industry cooperationIndustry cooperation• Web services architects assume that

industry groups will work together to define a set of standards to describe common services. • Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

• This is where UDDI's TModels come in.

ibm.com

/developerWorks/w

ebservices


Categories and Categories and tModeltModelss• You use categories and tModels

together to select a service provider.• The category information lets you select a

provider that is located nearby, ISO certified, etc.

• The tModel information lets you select a particular interface or other standard.

Approaches to discoveryApproaches to discovery• We'll look at several ways we could

implement Web services discovery.• All of these are standards-based and

implementable today.• Some of them are also really stupid

ideas.

One approachOne approach1. Someone I’ve never met sends me a

file called readme.exe.2. I immediately install it on my system

and run it.3. I discover what readme.exe does.

ibm.com

/developerWorks/w

Another approachAnother approach1. I write a client application that

discovers a service in a UDDI registry.2. I invoke that service, sending it vital

data about my company.3. I discover what the service does.

Another approachAnother approach1. You discover my service in a UDDI

registry.2. You invoke my service, sending me

your name and credit card number.3. You discover what I do with that

information.

ibm.com

A A sensiblesensible approachapproach1. Your client application looks for a

particular service in a WSIL file.2. Your client gets the WSDL file

referenced in the WSIL file.3. You invoke the service.

ebservices


Another Another sensiblesensible approachapproach1. Your client application searches for a

particular kind of service (a tModel) in a UDDI registry.

2. Your client uses categories to select one of the providers that has the service you need.

3. You invoke the service.
