The Multi-Enterprise cCommerce Framework
Interoperable, open, global, B2B ‘standard’ Complex solution and SME support Leveraging existing technologies and
standards Integration of business processes:
By electronic means Independent of the technical solution. Allowing business processes and technologies to evolve
independently

ebXML Focus Areas Semantic Framework
Meta-model for defining business process A set of re-useable core components
(common business semantics) Infrastructure
Transport, Routing, Packaging Business Service Interface Collaboration Protocol Profiles/Agreements Shared repository network
company profiles, business process models and related message structures

Define for trading partners:
• Role and Role interactions• Relationships• Responsibilities• Business Transactions
June 6, 2002 ebXML Awareness 19
Core Components Designed to capture:
• Business concepts (commonality)• Relationship between business
concepts• Individual pieces (objects) of business
information in a context
Format:• Syntax Neutral• Can contain other core components• Uniquely identified (GUid)• Facilitate multi-lingual support

Semantic Reconciliation Categories of CCs in a tree-
structure All uniquely defined in a repository Define your BP and CCs Map against the tree (find GUids) Derive message structure Names/Tags are irrelevant
June 6, 2002 ebXML Awareness 22
Registry & Repositories Registry points to Repositories Retrieval of collaboration profiles
Repository of relationships(Business Processes)
Rules for exchanging information Repository of Core Components
Industry Sector equivalents Multi-language
June 6, 2002 ebXML Awareness 23
Registry Repository of data relationships
Rules for exchanging information Publicly available documents models
Examples: DTD, schemas… Retrieval of profiles
Secured access - authentication Registry of services and clients Simple to use globally Easily discoverable via internet Scalability Based on industry standards
June 6, 2002 ebXML Awareness 24
Collaboration Protocol Profile
XML Document (incl DTD)
Information on business capabilities
Can contain: Party Information Transport Protocol Transport Security Protocol Messaging Protocol Time Out/Retry Information
June 6, 2002 ebXML Awareness 26
Challenges Capturing Business Semantics Repository based semantic
reconciliation Defining the Road-map Removing barriers in Europe SME involvement
June 6, 2002 ebXML Awareness 27
Migration Issues UN/EDIFACT is still the world
standard Migration to ebXML will take place
From all standards (XML and EDI) Experiment with XML…learn! Describe your own BP and CCs Define your CPP Use XML messages derived from EDI
June 6, 2002 ebXML Awareness 28
The way forward New structure for UN/CEFACT Participate! Definition of CCs is coming All industry groups need to do
some homework This is a fundamental, but slow
process
