Executive Summary
Project purpose
The project’s purpose is to address the now globally recognised importance of the role of canonical process and data models in facilitating trade. Given UN/CEFACT’s current global recognition as a proven and effective standards developer, the development of such a canonical mode is considered to be UN/CEFACT’s number one opportunity.
The project will draw on UN/CEFACT’s sound foundations and current progress to date in the development of such a canonical model and proceed to develop guidelines to assist all working groups engaged in the development of UN/CEFACT standards and recommendations to contribute effectively to the delivery of the required canonical model.
What does “canonical” mean?
(adj.) Authoritative or standard: conforming to an accepted rule or procedure. When referring to programming, canonical means conforming to well-established patterns or rules. The term is typically used to describe whether or not a programming interface follows the already established standard.
The opportunity & the driving forces
UN/CEFACT is poised to significantly contribute to:
- Blockchain enabled “Trust” applied to the supply chain
- Internet enabled “Collaboration” applied to the supply chain “Data Pipeline”
- The uptake of process driven as distinct to document driven supply chains as required to gain benefit from blockchain and IoT technologies, and in support of “Event Driven Architectures” based services
- Deployment of UN/CEFACT’s Reference Data Model approach
To deliver UN/CEFACT must now focus on processes and choreography moving beyond primarily focussing only on message definition.
Project scope
The
project
will
examine
all
current
UN/CEFACT
deliverables
covering
BRS;
RSM;
ISCRM;
CCL:
SCRDM
&
MMT-RDM;
MA
&
schema.
Based
on
the
existing
UMM
(2003)
and
CCTS
(2003)
both
designed
to
ensure
that
UN/CEFACT
works
to
the
delivery
of
the
required
canonical
model,
and
in
considering
newer
technologies,
an
analysis
will
be
conducted
to
determine
the
extent
to
which
modernization
may
be
required
of
the
base
UN/CEFACT
instruments
and
methods.
Preliminary
assessment
and
experience
dating
back
to
2002
indicates
that
to
original
developers
of
the
UN/CEFACT
instruments
UMM
&
CCTS
held
great
insight
into
the
directions
of
future
technologies
including
blockchain
and
sensor
technology.
The
project
will
assess
any
identifiable
gap
in
existing
instruments,
tools
and
methods,
make
recommendations
as
to
how
to
address,
and
then
to
develop
guidelines
to
ensure
that
the
opportunity
to
use
to
greater
purpose
in
particular
UMM
and
related
artifacts
is
addressing
the
global
move
to
Event
Driven
Architectures
applied
to
software
based
business
solutions.
This
project
may
result
in
subsequent
projects
where
technical
specifications
may
need
to
be
updated
to
the
latest
technologies.
