This proposed underlying capability (methodology) will support the future sustainability of all UN/CEFACT business domain project deliverables. Consequently, all SDGs that are relevant for UN/CEFACT projects are also relevant for this specification. |
Project Purpose
Maintaining the United Nations Trade Data Elements Directory (UNTDED), standardized library of data elements, supports SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) by facilitating efficient transport and logistics operations. Standardized data enable better monitoring (SDG 17) and reporting of key performance indicators, supporting sustainable development goals related to economic growth (SDG 8), to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns (SDG12), sustainable cities (SDG 11), climate action (SDG 13), promoting peaceful and inclusive societies, provide access to justice for all, and build effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels (SDG 16) and partnerships (SDG 17).
Project Purpose
The UNTDED The United Nations Trade Data Elements Directory (UNTDED) was initially developed in 1990.
This project focused on developing standardize the data elements that are used in international trade transactions, enhancing efficiency, transparency, and consistency across global trade systems. By providing a common language for trade data, UNTDED simplifies the exchange of information between businesses and governments, reduces administrative burdens, and lowers transaction costs. This standardization promotes automation and interoperability of trade processes, leading to more efficient and reliable transactions. Furthermore, UNTDED enhances transparency and regulatory compliance, supporting efforts to combat illicit trade practices. By making trade processes more accessible, especially for developing countries, UNTDED fosters global economic growth and integration into international markets. Overall, UNTDED is essential for creating a more efficient, transparent, and fair international trade environment.
The project purpose is to update the list of the data elements, and adding any missing bridges/links, of the Trade Data Element Directory (UNTDED) which is used worldwide to facilitate trade and enhance semantic interoperability for governments and international organizations and businesses.
UNTDED is also called ISO 7273. This project is a joint project with ISO under ISO/TC 154/JWG9.
Project Scope
Update of the UNTDED with missing UN/EDIFACT Trade data elements
- Update of the 2005 Version of the UNTDED with backlog of DMRs and corrigenda
- Update of the UN/EDIFACT EDED with missing UNTDED data elements
- Update of the UNTDED bridges to the UN Code Lists (UNCL) plus code values
- Update of the textual introductory sections of the UNTDED
- Update of the UNCL code values with UNTDED ( ) and [ ] references
