Future ChallengesFuture Challenges
Accelerating Delivery - We have in place: a mandate, strategy, programme of work, IPR policy & a development process (ODP). What we now need are:
• UN/CEFACT Priority Projects• Market driven/Stakeholder requirements
• Resources - Human & Financial• Human - Right skill sets to match priority tasks• Financial - UN/CEFACT needs funding
• Improve Forum meeting logistics• Capacity Building Programme
• Based on what UN/CEFACT can deliver
14 May 2007 13th UN/CEFACT Plenary 15
Future ChallengesFuture Challenges
The UNECE Executive Committee will review in October 2007:
• All PG Mandates & TORs which terminate in 2007• Under UN rules, there are no Permanent Groups • PGs can be extended for two years at a time• To obtain extensions each PG will have to provide
serious justification• This means that each PG will have to show its POW,
what it has achieved in terms of deliverables, future plans & deliverables over the next two years.UN/CEFACT will have to report back every year.

XML Representation of Core Components
XML Representation of Core Components
• User Requirements• External standards organizations are interested in submitting
candidate core components to UN/CEFACT using XML• Tool vendors are interested in building support for CCTS, but
are looking for XML syntax standards for CCTS constructs• Specification Purpose
• Provide consistent pattern for XML serialization of core component artefacts
• Approach• Develop requisite UN/CEFACT XML schema modules for
defining submitting and storing Core Component Technical Specification (CCTS) constructs in XML
• compliant to the UN/CEFACT Core Components Technical Specification
• Compliant to the UN/CEFACT XML Naming and Design Rules specification

ICG MandateICG Mandate
Management of the UN/CEFACT information repositories and libraries for electronic business and Rec.s that fall within its scope
Technical conformance and registration of the UN/CEFACT business requirements specifications
Normalisation and maintenance of the base syntax neutral information components that serve as the building blocks for the development of standards for implementation
Technical conformity and registration of the syntax specific objects and components
The purpose of the Information Content Management Group (ICG) is to ensure the release of quality technical specifications for e-business:
14 May 2007 13th UN/CEFACT Plenary 82
• A series of coherent, consistent and normalized reference libraries comprising the business requirements, information objects and code lists that are aligned with the domain reference models and serve as the building blocks for the development of standards for implementation
• Validating the conformance of technical specifications with the corresponding publication guidelines and for the release of approved syntax specific information objects and components
• Processes and procedures for the maintenance of the libraries • Mechanisms for ensuring the quality of the library contents • Proposals, including draft Recommendations for review and approval by
the UN/CEFACT Plenary and • Maintenance of UN Recommendations related to codes

UN/CEFACT RegistryPoC findings
UN/CEFACT RegistryPoC findings
• The overall Registry metamodel is capable of handling current UN/CEFACT requirements
• Registry federation is still in a primitive state
• Level of granularity for the management of discrete Registry artefacts (e.g. down to the basic attribute) can increase complexity of implementation
• Registry artefacts can be suitably governed by a classification scheme
• Several concurrent classification schemes can be applied
• The discovery process of Registry content is adequately defined
• The Registry user interface / connector approach was satisfactory

Legal Group purposeLegal Group purpose
• The purpose of the Legal Group (LG) is to ensure that the legal aspects of electronic business and international trade facilitation are considered in the work of the UN/CEFACT. To this end the Legal Group analyses current legal processes and issues within the mission and objectives of UN/CEFACT, identifies legal constraints that adversely affect the mission and objectives of the Centre, and proposes practical improvements to these legal processes and issues.
