EDICOM 2007 Bangkok August 2007 Slide 4UNeDocs: Holistic Information Framework for Single Window

UNeDocs – the Holistic Approach

A single data modelling approach for:• Paper documents • Electronic documents which are simply

equivalent to paper documents• Structured electronic documents UNEDIFACT,

Cargoimp, VDA, XML etc.• Snippets, e.g. Web/Service Orientated

eTransactions

UNeDocs – from yesterday through to tomorrow

A single data modelling approach for:• Paper documents (>70% paper)• Electronic documents which are simply

equivalent to paper documents• Structured electronic documents

UN/EDIFACT, Cargoimp, VDA, XML etc.• Process driven mini messages, e.g.

Web/Service Orientated eTransactions

Standards Foundation

• UNCEFACT Trade Reference Model for the International Purchase and Supply Chain (TBG14)

• UNCEFACT Unified Modelling Methodology - UMM (TMG/BP)• UNCEFACT Core Components Technical Specification -

CCTS (TMG/CC)• UNCEFACT Core Component Library (TBG17)• UNCEFACT XML Naming and Design Rules (ATG2)• UNCEFACT UN/EDIFACT Directory (ATG1)• United Nations Trade Data Elements Directory (UNTDED)• United Nations Layout Key (UNLK) – UN/ECE Rec. 1



Aims to...

• facilitate international trade by providing a migration path towards paperless trade by:

– developing a cross-domain, multimodal cross-border Core Component data model mapped to the United Nations Trade Data Element Directory (UNTDED)

– publishing and maintaining a set of UN/CEFACT syntax implementation standards including EDIFACT, XML and aligned paper document layouts

• support maintainable national, regional and industry-focussed contextual implementations by:

– Stakeholder group ( CBRDM!!!)– developing and publishing UNeDocs implementation

guidance documentation.


Fits into... Buy-Ship-Pay Process Scope

Buy Pay Ship

Prepare for export

Import Prepare

for import Transport Export

Commercial Procedures•Establish sales contract•Order goods•Advise on delivery•Request payment

Transport Procedures•Establish transport contract•Collect, transport and deliver goods•Provide waybills, •Goods receipts, etc.

Regulatory Procedures•Obtain im/export licenses etc.•Provide Customs Declarations•Provide cargo Declarations•Apply security measures•Clear goods

Financial Procedures•Provide credit rating•Insurance•Execute payment•Issue statements

International Trade Reference Model


To provide a smooth migration path towards ‘Digital Paper’ by• Aligning data elements across Cross-Border Trade, Transport,

International Payments, Customs & other Regulatory ‘Documents’

• Delivering the electronic successor of the paper-based UN Layout Key (UNECE Recommendation No 1)

• Increasing achievable semantic interoperability through reuse of the UNCEFACT Core Component Library mapped to the UNTDED

• Enabling syntactic interoperability across Core Components, EDIFACT, XML, document layouts and box completion guidelines

• Providing maintainability through future versions• Development of Customisation Methodology to allow user

configurability by contextual refinement

Objectives



EDICOM 2007 Bangkok August 2007 UNeDocs: Holistic Information Framework for Single Window Slide 14

Delivers...

· · · ·

• A Business Process Model illustrating where the UNeDocs documents fit into the operation of the International Supply Chain based on the UNCEFACT International Supply Chain Reference Model.

• A ISO 15000 Part 5 compliant Common Data Model based on candidate or published UNCEFACT Core Components that are linked to the UNTDED/ISO 7372.

• Methodology for the presentation of data contained in electronic data exchanges onto electronic or paper forms and the update of UNLK to become eUNLK.

• For each document the project will develop:o A class diagram and document structureo The paper and electronic, re-usable layout description of the document based on the UN Layout Key o Box Completion Guidelineo XML profiles o UN/EDIFACT message implementation guide

Has a history...

2002: UN/ECE Secretariat and UK’s SITPRO signed an MoU to combine the UN/ECE UNeDocs ‘proof of concept’ projectwith the SITPRO ElecTra project and to collaborate on the future development of UNeDocs

2005: UN/ECE Secretariat and SITPRO approved the transfer of their joint UNeDocs work into the UN/CEFACT Forum as a TBG project for the next stage of development

2006: TBG2 project team complete first version UNeDocs Core Component Data Model in collaboration with TBG3 Transport Group

UNLK Form Families

Trade Documents – Quotation, Order, Invoice etc.

Materials Management Documents – Despatch Advice, Pick List, Packing List etc.

Transport Documents – Bill of Lading, Shipping Instructions etc.

Customs Documents – Export, Import, Transit Declarations, Cargo Reports etc.

Other Regulatory Documents – Cert of Origin, DGN etc.


The world is changing......

• Evolving trading relationships and new business practices such as outsourcing, self-billing and changed divisions of labour etc.

• Growth and globalisation of trade

• New restrictions (environment, hazardous goods control etc.)

• Supply chain efficiency

• New technologies and opportunities (IT, internet, RFID, Digital Signatures etc.)

• New criteria (Security concerns, risk analysis, fraud and corruption prevention etc.)

• Increased competition and cost reduction requirements



• After >30 years of ‘e‘ most of the documents in international trade are still paper based

• Traders..., Authorities..., Carriers..., Manufacturers... - all need more information and control

• Many activities to use digital paper, US Gov Xforms, W3C, UBL, Adobe, Microsoft,...

• Development of proprietary solutions – both for content and layout of e-documents

• Increased momentum, but in isolated pockets of progress

• Governments need eStandards and rationalize their business

...and NOW there is a Tipping Point

UN/CEFACT UNeDocs Project

UNeDocs National, Regional or Industry Implementations

UNeDocs Project Status

• Focus Data Model – Workbase v2.02 Framework• Step 6 UN/CEFACT Open Development Process• Implementation Verification

• UNeDocs Business Requirements Specification (BRS) approved

• New web-site including invitation for project registrations
