UNeDocs Cross-Domain Data Model

• 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.
• The application of a holistic approach which
  incorporates the deployment of all relevant
  UN/CEFACT instruments and standards.
• A Business Requirements Specification defining
  the relationships between trade, transport and
  governmental data entities.
• A harmonised, multimodal cross-domain data model
  based on the reuse of the UN/CEFACT Core
  Component Library.
• The development of coordinated implementation
  specifications for paper, eforms, UN/EDIFACT and
  XML document formats and structures.
