UNeDocs for ASW Pilot Project

Chronology of events

Discussion between ASW Pilot project team (PH Customs, TH Customs) and TBG2 members in Geneva on 4th May, 2006 (in conjunction with Single Window Symposium)

Requirement : UNeDocs Proof-Of-Concept (POC) for the ASEAN Single Window Pilot Project

TBG2 team members started development work for the POC after the meeting

POC approved by ASW Pilot Project team on 29th May, 2006 (in conjunction with 2nd ASW Workshop in Bangkok)

Presented by ASW Pilot project during ASEAN Customs DG Meeting in Cambodia on 5th June, 2006

Work done for the ASEAN CEPT Form D Proof-Of-Concept Alignment of ASEAN CEPT Form D to UN

Layout Key Definition of national data requirement and

mapping to global semantic standard Mapping of ASEAN CEPT Form D to the

UNeDocs Data Model Generation of UNeDocs XML Structure for the

ASEAN CEPT Form D Development of an UNeDocs Interactive PDF

Document (optional step)

Alignment to UNLK

ASEAN CEPT Form D is aligned to UNLK Implemented important international

standardsCode lists – UN/LOCODE ISO CodesUN/TDED

Mapping to UNeDocs Data Model

Mapped each box in CEPT Form D to a structure in UNeDocs CoO data model

All boxes in CEPT Form D were mapped to UNeDocs CoO data model

Result : simplified UNeDocs data model of the CEPT Form D that is fully mapped to the paper form

Sample – UNeDocs data model mapping to ASEAN CEPT Form D

Generation of UNeDocs XML Structure for ASEAN CEPT Form D Expert team used EDIFIX to transform Simplified

UNeDocs data model for CEPT Form D into XML structure based on UN/CEFACT Naming and Design Rules (DNR)

Result : UNeDocs XML Schema for CEPT Form D

Through interfaces, the UNeDocs CEPT Form D document is integrated directly into PH & TH Customs processing for G2G business data exchange

Sample CEPT Form D XML Schema

Development of UNeDocs Interactive PDF Document (Optional steps)

Implemented UNeDocs CEPT Form D using UN Toolkit in combination with Adobe Interactive PDF Use UN Toolkit to create CEPT Form D as Interactive

PDF form Map Interactive PDF to UNeDocs CEPT Form D XML

Schema Apply digital signatures to UNeDocs CEPT Form D
