Process and Data Modelling
TC is guardian of the master Joint Automotive Data Model (JADM) and responsible for its content and maintenance on behalf of Odette and JAIF
Process and Data Modelling is the basis for building B2B transaction sets (messages)
Understanding and using Process and Data Modelling (based on UML and CCTS) is therefore a key issue for the TC

TC Scope
Message Assembly and Enveloping
Knowledge of UN/EDIFACT and XML Syntax is a key issue for the TC There is still no fixed UN/CEFACT standard for Assembly and Enveloping of
XML Messages available Odette proposes to use UN/EDIFACT and XML as messages syntax.

TC Scope
File Transfer Protocols File Transfer Protocols are required in order to exchange files with trading
partners. Odette created its own FTP in the 1980s and has enhanced it in several
ways over the past nearly 30 years. A new version OFTP2 that meets the security requirements of file transfer
via the public internet has been developed and is now replacing the older versions of OFTP
As an emerging technology for process automation and B2B data transfer WebServices are to be analysed and evaluated
TC members should have a good knowledge of file transfer protocols The TC is responsible for monitoring the implementation and driving the
improvement of file transfer protocols and related specifications.

B2B Security (Encryption/Digital signature/Certificates)
Encryption and the use of digital certificates is a key technology for guaranteeing secure data exchange over public networks
Management of digital certificates, their use in file transfer protocols and B2B connections became a constant task for B2B communication professionals
TC members therefore need to have sufficient knowledge of the different security tools and technologies (encryption, digital certificates) in order to manage projects in this area.

TC Scope
RFID
RFID is a technology which facilitates further automation in logistics supply chains. The integration of RFID based processes and data in the existing B2B communication is a challenge for the whole industry. The TC has to monitor the emergence and adoption of RFID technologies and to adapt data exchange standards to cope with the new requirements, where necessary.
