UN/CEFACT TMG Report
  • Chair Gunther Stuhec
  • Vice Chair Christian Huemer

TMG Mandate
  • Purpose
  • The purpose of the Techniques Methodologies
    Group (TMG) is to provide all UN/CEFACT Groups
    with Meta (base) Business Process, Information
    and Communications Technology specifications,
    methodologies, recommendations and education.
  • The TMG shall also function as a research group
    evaluating new information and communication
    technologies (ICT), as well as, techniques and
    methodologies that may assist UN/CEFACT and its
    groups to fulfill their mandate and vision in
    Trade Facilitation and e-Business.

Why TMG?
  • Provides the required key methodologies that are
    necessary for
  • Highly dynamic and context driven next generation
    B2B
  • Common and unambiguous understanding on semantic
    level
  • Collaborative business processes that considers
    the aspects of contracts / agreements
  • Highly reusable and flexible building blocks of
    business information
  • These methodologies are
  • comparable with a natural language
  • a must for doing collaborative business
    effectively,
  • the key differentiatior to all other existing
    business standards
  • highly required to realize next generation
    eBusiness environment (ESOA)
  • The TMG has experience since more than 10 years
  • Understands the current problematic in detail
  • Have concepts and solutions
  • Significant value add for UN/CEFACT
  • Enables UN/CEFACT to drive future B2B

Scope of BPWG
How to formalize contract paragraphs?
UMM UN/CEFACT Modeling Methodology Rules for analyze, design, and maintain collaborative business processes on semantic level. It especially consider the formal realization from contracts, and agreements to collaborative business processes.
UMM Transaction Patterns Fixed set of smallest pieces of collaborative business process transaction patterns that cover all the known legally binding collaborations at lowest level of request/response interaction between two business partners.
UMM REA Module Rules for linking economic events together that are required fulfill a contract of a collaborative business process. The links are activity-to-activity or agent-to-agent or person-to-person, not just company-to-company.
What are the agreed process steps?
What are the core process steps that considers
the smallest legal aspects?
How must the economic events linked together that
they are fulfill the contract?

BPWG Projects
  • UN/CEFACT Modeling Methodology (UMM)
  • First technical specification was released in
    December 2006
  • A new project for the next version was started in
    March 2007
  • New UMM concepts will be based on UML 2.0
    profiles
  • Resources-Events-Agents Economic Ontology (REA)
    Specialization Module
  • REA describes an enterprise ontology, which
    explains the types of entities or classes that
    are expected to see in a specific business
    process
  • Approved requirements specification (ODP Step 2)

10
BPWG Projects
  • UML Profile for Core Components (UPCC)
  • Was formerly Business Collaboration Specification
    Schema (BCSS)
  • Transferred to Core Components Working Group
    (CCWG)
  • At ODP step 6, Implementation Verification
  • Supports both UML versions 1.4 and 2.0
  • Business Process Schema Specification (BPSS)
  • The OASIS BPSS version 2.4 will be submitted to
    ISOs TC 154 for approval
  • TMG recommends supporting this submission of
    OASIS BPSS to ISO
  • If OASIS starts next version, TMG will provide
    business process experts for reaching the
    consistency between BPSS and UMM
  • Unified Business Agreements and Contracts (UBAC)
  • No resources and time to proceed
  • TMG transferred UBAC to Legal Group (LG)
  • TMG will assist the LG

11
Scope of CCWG
How to associate?
CCTS (Core Component Technical Specification) Rules for naming, structuring and reusing core components.
UCM (Universal Context Methodology) Rules for clarifying how to structure and use CCs in specific contexts, such as a Shipping Address for Germany or the US.
CCMA (Core Component Message Assembly Specification) Rules for assembling messages from CCs such as Purchase Order, Ship Notice, Invoice
How to name?
How to structure?
How to structure a message?
How to assemble data types in a message?
12
CCWG Projects
  • Core Components Technical Specification (CCTS)
  • Progressed CCTS V3.0 to second public review in
    ODP Step 5
  • Removes ambiguities, strengthens reuse,
    modularizes standards stack (i.e. removal of
    registry rules)
  • Fixed content (data types, CCTS V3.0 does not
    consider any content anymore.
  • All CCTs (Core Components Types) in CCTS V2.01
    are moved to ATG (Applied Technologies Group)
  • Target is to reach ODP7 approved technical
    specification by end of 2007

13
CCWG Projects
  • Core Component Message Assembly (CCMA)
  • Began with ODP step 3
  • An initial draft is underway
  • CCMA specification will bridge the current gap
    between UMM and CCTS
  • Meta model allows an easy and consistent mapping
    into technical protocols such as WSDL (Web
    Services Definition Language)
  • Unified Context Methodology (UCM)
  • Expanded ODP 2 phase
  • This was required at the request of many major
    contributors
  • Significant interest is being realized in this
    project

EBAWG Projects
  • Electronic Business Architecture Specification
    (EBAS)
  • EBAS will describe the relationships between all
    defined UN/CEFACT technical specifications, and
    non UN/CEFACT specifications
  • Finalized project proposal
  • The goal for 2007 is complete ODP Step 3
  • Conformance and Compliance Definition (COD)
  • Develop a clear and unambiguous definition of
    compliance/conformance rules for each of the
    UN/CEFACT specifications
  • Newly established in March 2007
  • Phased at direction of FMG
  • The goal for 2007 is complete phase 1 and
    commence phase 2
  • Glossary project
  • Create a centralized, common UN/CEFACT Glossary
  • Ongoing project that will interface with all
    other methodology projects in the forum
  • First draft available at the TMG website

16
New Website(Prototype)
  • Enterprise Wiki approach
  • Every registered user can
  • read, update and generate wepages
  • write news and submit comments
  • upload/download attachments
  • Makes the daily standardization work more
    efficient and effective
  • Guarantees a consistent and clear representation
    of required information
  • Should be used for all UN/CEFACT standardization
    work
