Plan

• PIDX Membership Business Meeting
• April 18, 2005
• Houston TX
• Greg Wilson PIDX Support Staff
• Andy Ross BMWG Chair
• Kim Lambert PIDX Support Staff

Objective

• To provide PIDX Members with an overview of the
  Joint Technology Plan (JTP)
• What it is
• Why its valuable
• What it looks like
• What it means to PIDX
• What the future holds

• What it is

What is the Joint Technology Plan ?

• The purpose of the Joint Technology Plan (JTP) is
  to create a forum within which several industry
  standards bodies can work toward convergence on a
  myriad of eBusiness standards and specifications.
  Each of the JTP chartering member organizations
  is working independently to determine short and
  long term perspectives regarding various layers
  of the technical standards landscape. Many of the
  prevailing eBusiness and XML technologies may be
  adopted in a variety of ways. The JTP
  investigates such nuances of technology standards
  and determines the most sound approach toward
  adoption or avoidance of them. Research and
  findings in the JTP includes both technical and
  business considerations.

A joint forum working towards convergence
Ranks technologies based on tactical and
strategic viability
Provides recommendations based on these rankings

Who is the Audience ?

• JTP content will be of interest to member
  companies within CIDX (Chemical Industry Data
  Exchange), PIDX (Petroleum Industry Data
  Exchange), and RAPID (eBusiness standards
  organization for the Agricultural industry). Each
  organization is looking to align with industry
  XML standards will likely also be investigating
  technologies outlined within the JTP. Guidance
  provided by the JTP will provide valuable insight
  and initial research led by industry
  representatives and will serve as a common point
  of reference.

• What it is
• Why its valuable
• What it looks like
• What it means to PIDX
• What the future holds

• Why its valuable

9
Why its Valuable

• Convergence is important !
• Joint work will promote gravitation toward a
  common approach to the technologies
• Established communication bridge among the
  chartering members
• Shared human capital
• Sharing information across organizational
  boundaries (what about Certification, etc.)

11
What does it Look Like ?
Steps

• Candidate Technology solutions for a number of
  domains
• Schema Naming and Design
• Messaging
• Business Process Modeling, etc
• Rankings based on evaluative criteria
• Joint Impact Assessment and Vision

15
What it means to PIDX

• Recommendations may lay the ground work for
  projects within PIDX Workgroups
• JTP provides the starting point for
• Technical initiatives
• Strategic decisions
• Primary Focus Areas
• Schema Naming and Design
• Messaging
• Business Process Modeling

16
The Carrot

• Broad, cross-industry interoperability
• An invoice is an invoice is an invoice

Core Components

• Header
• InvoiceNumber
• InvoiceDate
• Buyer
• Seller
• Description
• LineItem
• Quantity
• Units
• Rate
• Description

17
Challenges

• Core components standards ratification
• Achieving uptake amongst desired partners
• To lead or to follow
• Complete schema do-over
• Bridging existing implementations with new core
  component implementations

20
What the future holds

• Content Revisions at regular intervals
• PIDX Projects based on this work
• All PIDX member companies should review the
  findings and recommendations and provide feedback
• The JTP will guide the progression of the PIDX
  specification and its supporting materials
• Posted on the PIDX web site
• Your input !!

MSDS Project Background

• US Government requests trading partners to use a
  UN/CEFACT sanctioned schema
• Based on UN/CEFACT core components
• Based on UN/CEFACT Naming Design Rules
• Use of schema is not required

23
MSDS Status

• Phase I is Semi-structured with Govt. Required
  elements submitted
• Approximately 80 of the 350 elements submitted
• CCs, ABIEs and BBIEs submitted to CEFACT (some
  approved, some not yet reviewed)
• A test schema was presented

24
MSDS Update

• Business Specification Requirement document
  approved by CEFACT in March
• Requirements Specification Modeling document to
  be submitted

25
MSDS Next Steps

• Continue creation of rest of the 350 data
  elements
• Work with industry groups for input
• Create draft schema with newly approved CEFACT
  NDRs

26
What can PIDX do?

• Guide PP with industry representation
• Provide input to CEFACT
• Review Schema for PIDX
