What is TILIS?

• TILIS stands for Totally Intelligent Logistics
  Inquiry Service
• TILIS establishes a national transport and
  logistics (TL) industry web gateway
• TILIS is a piece of shared digital infrastructure
  focused on the TL industry,
• designed to provide high levels of
  interconnection between many users and
• providers of useful information, business
  services, industry knowledge and new ideas
• TILIS is part of the responsibilities of The
  Transport and Logistics Centre (TALC)
  (http//www.talc.com.au)

TILIS is hard to grasp

• Most people dont
• care about the intricacies of computing and
  communications
• care about infrastructure (especially if it is
  virtual!)
• want to deal with the complexity
• want to have to understand it
• but they do want
• someone to build it for them
• it to work for them
• access when they want, how they want

4
So lets think in physical terms

• Think about a shipping port, airport, or similar,
  they
• are major investments in infrastructure and
  networks
• are common capabilities everyone can use thus
  increasing their activities
• stimulate volume activity, thus cost reduction
  and value are positively affected (Moore
  Principle)
• connect local with global
• are solutions driven by social and business
  needs, not the technology solutions that underpin
  their operation
• encourage use of scalable, reliable existing
  technology
• use standards to maximise connection and
  efficiencies
• connect multiple supply chains seamlessly
• (THIS PROBABLY SOUNDS FAMILIAR)

5
Now think of TILIS as a digital port

• In the digital space you can build infrastructure
  fast, once and anyone, anywhere can use it.
• There is no current national digital port for the
  TL industry
• TILIS takes for form and shape of the desired
  industry application. It can be an education and
  training portal, a business exchange, a
  publishing/news portal or a simple discovery tool
• TILIS can work to connect many groups
  simultaneously across the web, or it can act as
  an enterprise system working within the business
  to connect individuals who need to share
  knowledge e.g. HR professionals

6
TILIS a digital port

• Like a physical port TILIS is a digital solution
  that can provide
• A gateway that is both a map and single access
  point to the TL industry
• Infrastructure able to be configured to users
  needs and preferences
• National network hub connecting and adding volume
  to local Web sites and services in the TL or
  other industries
• Network able to transition only one-to-one
  business supply chains to the new many-to-many
  global marketplaces
• Shared infrastructure capability for everyone in
  the industry, public or private can leverage to
  reduce their operational expenditure while
  maximising value
• Benchmark standards for connections, content and
  knowledge sharing

7
TILIS can assist in the connection between many
parts of the TL industry - without resorting to
expensive hardware and proprietary software
8
TILIS is a unique synthesis engine that uses
the Internet to bring people together to do
business
9
TILIS maps the industry

• TILIS is
• An ATLAS A view of the transport and
  logistics industry based on your needs and
  preferences
• A MAP A repository of destinations and data
• A GPS A registry that allows you to discover
  where you are and search for digital
  information that helps you get
  where you need to go
• By being virtual TILIS is more dynamic and able
  to be oriented to the user needs and preferences.
  This differentiates it from a mere website, which
  is a static and limited information source

10
TILIS removes noise and can be configured to your
needs
11
TILIS connects and adds volume to existing
networks

TILIS moves beyond the one to many marketplace
One provider to multiple users with a complex
array of expensive assets that require massive,
duplicated capital investment
13
TILIS enables the many to many marketplace

• Many users connecting once, with reducing and
  sharing infrastructure to address
• Interoperation
• Metadata
• Classification
• Search
• Discovery
• Identity management
• Access rights
• Reuse
• Digital rights

14
TILIS is an investment in industry capabilities

• Flexability to create multiple strategies for
  metadata and content packaging
• Searchability/ Browseability
• across systems and different types of content
• Reliability of service
• Affordability - making learning objects and
  information sharing more cost effective
• Scalability of solution and service

• Discoverability of knowledge and content
• Sustainability of service
• Interoperability with existing technology and
  systems
• Accountability of maintenance and government
  structure
• Accessability -Infrastructure supports access by
  many, to their preferences
• Re-useability of content across organisations,
  locations and sectors

TILIS is the first of many

• TILIS will be the first iteration of a
  industry-side digital infrastructure providing
  shared, mostly open source solutions for
• User-oriented Web and portal design (W3C and
  national standards will be applied)
• Discovery and access to content by implementing
  the Content Object Repository Discovery and
  Registration Architecture model (provides the
  first global standard for linking any content
  repository to any user based on the content
  owners permissions)
• Access management and identity management
  solutions
• Learning and technical object exchange through
  application of ADL Sharable Content Object
  Reference Model and European Association of
  Aerospace Industries S1000D

TILIS uses global standards
CEN/ISSS
ISO/IEC JTC1 SC36
PROMETEUS
LOM (metadata) is an approved IEEE standard.
CETIS/JISC
ARIADNE
Dublin Core
eLIG
Singapore
AICC
API and CMI data model based on the AICC CMI
document and widespread SCORM usage are now
approved IEEE standards.
