Code Management Project

 

 

Project Purpose

Text Area
default<click here to edit>
idproject_purpose
Codes are an essential component of any Machine-To-Machine information flow. Codes have been developed over time to facilitate the flow of compressed, standardized values that can be easily validated for correctness to ensure consistent semantics. Many international, national and sectoral agencies create and maintain code lists relevant to their area. If required to be used within an information flow, these code lists will be stored in their own environment and referred to as external code lists.
The project’s purpose is to define the procedures and methodologies for code list creationusage, validation, management and maintenance. The resulting rules and guidelines will primarily be mandated for all UN/CEFACT deliverables but also applicable to external organisations.

Project Scope

Text Area

idproject_scope
The project will define the procedures, rules and methodologies for the following identified issues. Existing rules, such as those defined in the Core Components Technical Specification, CCTS, should be taken into account and if applicable be respected.
The project should take into account any UN/CEFACT deliverable that apply codes.
The primary target audience is UN/CEFACT Experts developing deliverables using coded representations but guidance to end users should be added when appropriate.

1.	Version compatibility
The ability to use the latest possible version of a code list in association with any version of a message, i.e. decoupling the versioning of code lists from the business message versions

2.	Extending code lists
Evaluate if permanent extensions are possible and desirable

3.	Restricting code lists
Provide rules and methodology for restricting code lists for use within specific context. Users of the UN/CEFACT libraries may identify any subset they wish from a specific code list for their own community requirements. 

4.	Code list validation rules
Provide rules and methodology for how to validate instance documents against an XML Schema or UN/EDIFACT message type in respect to code lists

5.	Temporary codes
Provide rules and methodology for the inclusion of temporary codes that will be replaced by a permanent code at the next UN/CEFACT standardised release.

6.	Externally maintained code lists
Define rules and procedures for referencing code lists maintained by organisations external to UN/CEFACT, e.g. ISO, ICC, W3C.

Project Deliverables

Text Area
default<click here to edit>
idproject_deliverables
The deliverables from the project will be:
a)	A User Guide, referring to UN/EDIFACT Syntax Implementation Guidelines and UN/CEFACT Technical SpecificationSpecifications and other specifications, which describes how to use, validate and manage and maintain codes and code lists.
b)	Updates to existing Technical Specifications, if rules and/or guidelines in the new TechnicalUser SpecificationGuide proposed in point a) contradicts existing rules/guidelines

The resulting updated Technical SpecificationSpecifications described in point b) will be applied for new development. Updates of existing code lists will have to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Exit Criteria

Text Area

idexit_criteria
a)	The CodeUser ManagementGuide Technical Specification approved by the Bureau
b)	New versionversions of existing Technical Specifications approved by the Bureau, if applicable
c)	Procedures for code management approved by the Bureau
