Project Details
Project Purpose
Multiple groups within UN/CEFACT wish to develop standard Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) as part of the set of technical deliverables from their project. The RDM2API project demonstrated that it is possible to go from the semantics of UN/CEFACT towards APIs. This project aims to develop a technical specification in order to move from Reference Data Model (RDM) based deliverables to a standardized API which retains the richness of information available in RDMs.Project Scope
Develop a technical specification which will standardize API production for UN/CEFACT RDM-based deliverables.Project Deliverables
The project deliverables is: • Deliverable 1: Application Programming Interface Technical Speciation )API-TechSpec)Exit Criteria
The exit criteria will be: • API Tech Spec ready for publication and Public Review disposition log demonstrating that all Public Review comments have been addressed.Project Team Membership and Required Functional Expertise
Membership is open to UN/CEFACT experts with broad knowledge in the area of: broad knowledge of UN/CEFACT e-business standards and/or API technical knowledge. In addition, Heads of Delegations may invite technical experts from their constituency to participate in the work. Experts are expected to contribute to the work based solely on their expertise and to comply with the UN/CEFACT Code of Conduct and Ethics and the policy on Intellectual Property Rights.Geographical Focus
