Recommendation 14
• Most of the writing before the end of the year. Points of consideration:
•
•
•
•
Levels of sensitivity / security assurance levels and level recommendation
Technology neutrality
Technical aspects and legal aspects to be considered
Definitions and functions should be as close to those of UNCITRAL as
possible
• Annex 1 on legally enabling implementations
• Establish a template for submission of data – key characteristics to be
considered
• Important to deduce a common checklist as an introduction to the annex.
• Annex 2 on technical implementations enabling electronic data transfer
• Use typologies in UNCITRAL “Promoting Confidence…” document to group
similar solutions and allow an easier lecture in the recommendation.
• Must consider other typologies for examples like the IATA example or GS1
example…
• Looking forward, we would appreciate participation of ex draft Rec 37
members.
• Next meeting: conference call mid-October; contact
[email protected] for more info
Recommendation 36
• A major interest shown measured by participation
• Attendees had different background of Single Window
• Presentations were given of SW-implementations from
national to regional (i.e. APEC) and global concepts (i.e.
GNC)
• Re-use of existing draft to Rec 36
• Consultation process based on a questions template
together with a «glossy» to be circulated
• To be supplemented by contributions of several group
members to tap into gained experiences
• The results of the consultation will be examined by the
group during the Forum intersession and the
Recommendation will be continuously progressed using
e-collaboration facilities

exchanging trade documents.

20th UN/CEFACT FORUM – Vienna, Austria
Workshop on
Core Library feasibility
Understanding the requirements and identifying best practices for
creating a core interoperable foundation library for trade facilitation.
• Core Interoperable Foundation Library
• Tim McGrath (Australia)
• Community of European Semantic Assets
Repositories (CESAR) and ADMS
• Joao Frade (European Commission)
• Current Core Component Libraries status
• Sue Probert (UK)
20th UN/CEFACT FORUM – Vienna, Austria
Revised Technical Framework
• Why are we doing this?
• UN/CEFACT is in the business of making
recommendations and standards
• We need business justifications not technical
ones
• Market driven
• Support from stakeholder communities
20th UN/CEFACT FORUM – Vienna, Austria
The current market
• Surveys, analysis and experience suggests:
• Many established communities not using
UN/CEFACT standards consistently
• Situation is too fragmented to change
• Then and now…
• UN/EDIFACT = single SDO (UN/CEFACT)
• XML = many SDOs (W3C, OASIS, ISO, IEC, GS1)
• UN/CEFACT is not the sole arbiter of XML
standards for eBusiness
• No ‘one’ canonical standard will work
43
What Standard(s) Can We
Achieve?
• One Standard to Rule them All
• Centralized
• Global agreement on everything
• Is my requirement everyone’s requirement?
Or
• Islands of standardization
• Foundational semantics
• Satisfying different communities of use
• Using specific EDI or XML formats
• Transform between different formats
• Needs coordination
The Options Before Us
• Fragmented Standards
- Who wins?
• One Standard
– Who decides?
– What do they decide?
– When do they decide?
• Coordinated Standards
- Common semantics
- Federated approach
The opportunity for UN/CEFACT
• Someone needs to facilitate the
interoperability between these communities.
• UN/CEFACT can have that role
• Standardize what can be agreed, to improve
interoperability
• ‘core’ processes, structures, components and
data types (including code lists).
• Allow communities to re-use these in their
environments.
46
The role for UN/CEFACT
• A forum for coordinating a framework for interoperability for
trade facilitation and eBusiness
• Ensure everything is done, but …
• Not to do everything
• Facilitators not owners
• Support disparate community implementations
• Build bridges not walls
How do we do this?
47
Restructure what we have
• Agree on what the ‘end game’ should be:
• What an effective framework for UN/CEFACT
deliverables would look like.
• Plan how to reach the ‘end game’
• Who does what
• Stop doing things that don’t fit this plan
• Manage the completion of these projects
• Get the right resources
• Manage expectations
• Communicate value
