The CEN WS/BII objectives

Business Interoperability Interfaces for Public
Procurement in Europe – BII

Objectives of the work in BII
“to provide a basic framework for interoperability in
pan-European electronic transactions, expressed
as a set of technical specifications that cross-refer
to relevant activities, and in particular are compatible
with UN/CEFACT - in order to ensure global
interoperability.”

BII
European Interoperability Framework
”the ability of information and communication
technology (ICT) systems and of the business
processes they support to exchange data and to enable
the sharing of information and knowledge”

the choreography of the
business process(es) covered,
the electronic business
transactions exchanged as part
of the business process,
the information content of the
electronic business transactions
exchanged, and
the business rules governing
the execution of that business
process(es), its business
collaborations and business
transactions, as well as any
constraints on information
elements used.
BII addresses the whole
eProcurement process
