[Document Expired]

If the document expires (according to the expiration timementioned in the ini tia l https Response after the document was submitted by the Competentent Authori ty of Dispatch), but the document waspicked up by the CA of Destination before, the MessageBroker drops the Movement Document from the Message Queue. In this case no fax is sent, since the document was already picked up.

According to the Vienna Meeting, Business Signals do not expire. This m eans business signals must always be droped by the CAs.

????????????Alternative:Business signals that were picked up by a CAare deleted by the broker after a fixed time period.????????????

. .38

Motivation

Problem domain– Business documents exchanged in a business process in

a service oriented context

UN/CEFACT provides a generic solution– Core Components Technical Specification (CCTS)– Almost no tool support possible – CCTS are standardizes

as spread sheets

UML Profile for Core Components– Seamless integration into UML modeling tools possible– Seamless integration into e.g. process modeling specific

models possible

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. .39

Harmonizing the exchanged data

Known standardization efforts– UN/EDIFACT– XML based solutions (RosettaNet)

Known issues of these efforts– Multitude of different and competing standards– Inclusion of every possible element that may be required –

strong overhead– Changes in the transfer syntax would require a complete

reegineering

Solution– Platform independent resuable building blocks for

creating shared libraries of business documents developed by UN/CEFACT

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. .40

Core Components

Are the central building blocks of the Core Component Technical Specification

Platform independent Used to create shared libraries of

interoperable business documents The ontological base of the CCTS is the United

Nations Trade Data Element Dictionary (UN/TDED)

Initially started as part of ebXML standards suite Now a dedicated project independent of ebXML

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. .42

Business Information Entity (BIE) example

Core Components in a specific business context (e.g. travel industry)

BIEs have a specific business semantic

Qualifiers (US_) help to define and differentiate a BIE from ist associated CC and other BIEsABIE Aggregate Busines Information

Information Entity

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. .43

By introducing the business context core components become business information

entities

Core Components (CC) Business Information Entities (BIE)

BIEs are derived from CCs by restriction

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Dependency between Core Components and Business Information Entites

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. .45

Data Types

Qualified Data Types (QDT) are derived from Core Data Types (CDT) by restriction

Business Information Entities use QDT and CDT

Core Components use only CDT

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. .46

. .47

A UML Profile for Core Components

Flaws of the Core Components Technical Specification– Standardization process of Core Components is based on

spread sheets– No direct integration into modeling tools possible

UML Profile for Core Components– Independent project based on the CCTS– Set of stereotypes, tagged values and OCL constraints– Can be integrated into a modeling tool of choice– Proof of concept based on UML modeling tool Enterprise

Architect– UML class diagrams are used for the modeling of Core

Components

. .51

Conclusion and Outlook

The UML profile for core components provides a method to model exchanged information– independent of the platform– independent of the transfer syntax– in shared libraries– on a common ontological base– derive different platform specific artifacts

Future work– Develop a new UML profile for CCTS 3.0 (UPCC)– Adaptation of the XSD schema generator– Build a repository to store and retrieve existing ABIE

and data type libraries

XOR relation between the possible response document types

In case multiple documents are sent – parameter sets are used to implement an XOR realtionship– there is always a 1:1 relationship between a document

flow and its enclosing parameter set

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

. .56

Limitation 4 – Only human-comprehensible interdependencies

The content of a response document needs to be examined to decide on the positive or negative outcome of a business transaction. – Using different response business document types alleviates

this problem The actual business document type decides on the

end state of a business transaction. – However, there exists no formal relationship between a

business document type and the semantically corresponding final state

The business collaboration protocol is guarded by the outcome of business transactions. – However, there is no explicit reference between the

transition guards and the business transaction final states.

Conclusion

Showed the benefits of the transition from UML 1.4.2 to UML 2– eliminating meta model workarounds

Added the possibility to explicitly model different business intentions using multiple response document types

Formally bound business document types to business transaction final states and those in turn to guard conditions in a business collaboration protocol– required for a MDA-like approach
