Introduction
This NWI proposal is intending to initiate a new standardization activity
within ISO/IEC JTC1 SC32, which focuses on the common view to
metadata and metamodels for categorizing and structuring enterprise
business objects, extending ISO/IEC 11179 Specifications.
The enterprise objects which consist of both information elemetns and
process elements, should be used, not only in the software
development efforts of a particular organization, but also, in the
interchanging and sharing them among different organizations by the
means such as the Electronic Commerce (EC), Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI).
2
Purpose and Justification
This proposal intends to establish a common reference model for the effective
and efficient interchanging, sharing and reusing of various type of business
objects standards, which could be developed by many standard groups,
within ISO or outside of ISO and a lot of industrial consortia.
To achieve the purpose, following standardization activities should be initiated.
•
Establishment of the consensus on the Metamodel Framework
Architecture
•
Change Proposal to IS11179-3 as a Normative Defining Scheme to
cope with the NWI
•
Stock taking current Modeling Facilities, Metamodeling Facilities,
Metamodel Interchanging Facilities and establishment of the
consensus on the use of them as normative.
•
Development of the Identification &Classification Scheme
•
Stock taking and Identification Common Modeling Construct
•
Definition of the Metamodel Registering Procedure

Basic Requirements for NWI

Collaborations between Businesses
Due to the proliferation of Internet and E-business, following type of
collaborations became indispensable to current vivid enterprises.
•exchanging information contents among different domains and different
organizations across countries.
•effective evaluation mechanism of proprietary components in both software
and information content, by asking for each components to declare their
ingredients with specifying standard elements.
•evaluating business performance of the enterprise.
•effective investigation of business modeling and its change which might
cause information system changes.
Those benefits are mainly brought by providing common bases for both
business peoples and IT peoples.

Harmonized standard development with the
Normative Reference Model
Today, so many industrial standard groups, such as, OMG, ebXML,
UN/CEFACT, OASYS, EAN, CPFR, UCC, Rosetta-net, CBOP, etc. are in charge
of development of domain specific business models or protocols.
However, it is difficult to find any standards in ISO, which specify common
basses that help consistent developments of standards for business
modeling or interchanging in business domains.
It must be urgent to both ISO and consortia, to establish a common
normative framework to keep harmonization in the enterprise business
modeling and interchange specifications, which will enable the appropriate
segregations and cooperation between ISO and consortia.
Although, UML is been discussed as ISO standards in ISO/IEC JTC1 SC7,
there must be needed to standardize the common modeling constructs as the
contents to be shared in enterprise business collaborations and business
objects interchanging, not only for the software developments.
9
What should be Needed
In the Markets:
• An Unified Metamodel Framework which enables Interchange & Sharing
of the various type of enterprise business objects, in E-Commerce, EBusiness, EDI, and the business collaborations, such as SCM, e-CRM,
etc..
In the Vender Folks:
• An Unified Registering Scheme which allows the those who want to
develop sharable enterprise business objects and those who want to
access appropriate normative models, modeling constructs and objects
in the developing easy to collaborate business systems.
In the Standardizations:
• An Unified Metamodel Framework which establishes the harmonization
of the different views to the modeling and the Interchanging of the
enterprise business object, which were proposed by the individual
domains of the standardization
• A Normative Scheme which enables the appropriate locating and
positioning of their standard development activities, which were been
taken place within ISO or outside of ISO.

Identification & Classification Scheme
To share and interchange various type of enterprise business models,
objects efficiently, and also, to locate them appropriately in the registry,
there must be an unified view to identification & classification.
The Identification & Classification Scheme should be consisted multidimensional axis as follows:
