UNeDocs – from yesterday

through to tomorrow

A single data modelling approach for:• Paper documents • Electronic documents which are simply

equivalent to paper documents• Structured electronic documents UNEDIFACT,

Cargoimp, VDA, XML etc.• Snippets, e.g. Web/Service Orientated

UNeDocs Project

• To facilitate international trade by providing a migration path towards paperless trade by:

– developing a cross-domain, multimodal cross-border Core Component data model mapped to the United Nations Trade Data Element Directory (UNTDED)

– publishing and maintaining a set of UN/CEFACT syntax implementation standards including EDIFACT, XML amd aligned paper document layouts

• To support maintainable national, regional and industry-focussed contextual implementations by:

– delivering Capacity Building Workshops– developing and publishing UNeDocs

implementation guidance documentation.

Background

2002: UN/ECE Secretariat and UK’s SITPRO signed an MoU to combine the UN/ECE UNeDocs ‘proof of concept’ projectwith the SITPRO ElecTra project and to collaborate on the future development of UNeDocs

2005: UN/ECE Secretariat and SITPRO approved the transfer of their joint UNeDocs work into the UN/CEFACT Forum as a TBG project for the next stage of development

2006: TBG2 project team complete first version UNeDocs Core Component Data Model in collaboration with TBG3 Transport Group

Summary

A combination of cross-border business requirements collected from the TBG domain Working Groups and the necessary international regulatory requirements collated in conjunction with the WCO, paper-based Convention stakeholders and the Trade Facilitation work of TBG15.

A harmonised, multimodal cross-domain data model based on the reuse of the UN/CEFACT Core Component Library plus pre-harmonised contributions to the further development of the Library.

The application of a holistic approach which incorporates the deployment of all relevant UN/CEFACT instruments and standards.

The development of coordinated implementation specifications for paper, eforms, UN/EDIFACT and XML document formats and structures.
