  1. Understanding ebXML Enabling the global use of electronic business Duane Nickull Chief Technology Officer duane@xmlglobal.com www.xmlglobal.com

  2. Topics • Introduction and Architecture • The ebXML Technologies • Continuing work • Implementation and adoption

  3. Introduction Understanding Mission and Architecture

  4. ebXML Mission ebXML enables anyone, anywhere to do business with anyone else over the Internet

  5. Support and Background • Custodians - UN/CEFACT and OASIS • 75+ vendors, open public work • Major industry groups – OAG, GCI, AIAG, RosettaNet, X12 EDI… • Published first release of specifications in May, 2001. • Work continuing under UN/EWG • Alignment of diverse XML vocabularies

  6. ebXML model • SMALL - Simple consistent integration for day-to-day small business applications (accounting, taxes, catalogues, inventory…) • BROAD - Simple consistent integration across industry verticals (insurance, healthcare, transportation, food services…) • LARGE - And complex large system integration

  7. What ebXML does • “Who, What, When, How” • Trading Profile Management and Discovery. • Assembly of transaction content. • Establishing consistent data definitions • Business Process Collaboration. • Message Handling Services

  8. ebXML Technical Architecture

  9. ebXML Business information Decomposition to the most atomic level is the winning strategy for ebXML. It allows for automated semantic recognition of business information by using Registry services.

  14. Implementation and Adoption The Five Steps from Zero to Go!

  15. Five Steps • Use ebXML MHS and add UID references to existing content structures (EDI / XML) • Store vocabulary and transaction components in Registry • Adopt ebXML BPSS definitions • Migrate toward ebXML core components • Full compliance with ebXML infrastructure

  16. Planning • 1 year, 2 year and 5 years out. • Issues, implementation criteria, ROI, support, interoperability, XML. • Schema neutral content assembly. • Separation of business semantics from XML mechanics.

  18. Message Handling Services Transport, Routing and Packaging (TRP)

  19. ebXML Transport Components

  20. Transport Structure DEMO

  21. Interchange sequence detail • A complete interchange consists of successfully: • passed authentication/access control • sent the bits to the other end • checked the packaging • checked the header structure • checked the header data • checked the signature on a header (*) • decrypted the payload (*) • verified the signature on a payload (*) • checked the structure of a payload (*) • passed the translated payload to a backend system/application for processing • Backend application successfully processed the payload Note: Items denoted (*) are optional

  22. Business Processes Methodology, Design and Representation

  23. XML driven service layer(s) Partners Systems Integration Business Systems Customers Process Integration Open Socket Interface Information Services Layer XML XML XML XML XML XML XML XML XML Business Enterprise Services Content Products Data

  24. Goal: Single face Solution Integration at point of use. Need to derive core components and standard business processes to reduce interface complexity Trading Partners Corporation Single Interface

  25. Enabling Business Processes • Classification structures • Registration of business domains • Detailing of process steps • Facilitation and Choreography details • Linkage to Core Components

  28. Registry Role and Services

  29. Version 1.0 Registry and Registry Client • Loosely coupled • Must support Registry Service Specification (RSS) • Must support ebXML Messaging Service Handler (MSH) • Uses Security Model REGISTRY CLIENT API REGISTRY (RIM) • The RSS governs a DTD to set the syntax for queries, Object Management and Returns including confirmations and errors.

  31. Applications Registry Server Deployment INTERNET Registry Server JAVASERVERPAGES API REGISTRY (RIM) Users

  32. Registry Queries • Governed by RSS v 1.0 (www.ebxml.org) • QueryManager() interface exposes several methods. • Queries can return most parts of the RIM. • Return types are metadata.

  34. Summary • Need • Provide semantic registry • Human interface • Machine interface • Classification and Associations • UID and content notation synchronization • Registry of Registries (UDDI one option) • Certification of Registry implementations DEMO

  35. Core Components Approach, Use, and Determining

  36. Core Components: • A Core Component captures information about a real world (business) concept. • A Core Component can be atomic or aggregate. • It is ‘Core’ because it occurs in many different areas of industry/business information exchange.

  37. XML Elements • XML elements in business messages can reference items from a Registry. • Examples: • <LastName> • <NomDeFamille> • <VorName> • <姓> All are the same item!!!

  38. Linking Core Components • XML elements in business messages can reference items in a registry. • Examples: • <LastName UID=“myrep:1236”> • <NomDeFamille UID=“myrep:1236”> • <VorName UID=“myrep:1236”> • <姓 UID=“myrep:1236”> All are the same item!!!

  39. XML Elements in document instances contain pointers to Repository Item’s. Registry Items are metadata – not instances of data. <?xml version=“1.0”> <UID>12345</UID> <Element> 姓 </Element> <Also org=“yourOrg”> LastName </Also> Repository Item <?xml version=“1.0”> < 姓UID=“FooRep:12345”> Duane </ 姓 > Document Instance Registry API API Managed object Managed object Managed object

  44. Business Integration Needs Crosswalks and Core Components

  45. Modelling Methodology Approach, Tools, Techniques

  46. Concepts • Business Process and associated Information Model. • An XML Representation of the Business Process (BPS) and the Business Information (BIE, CC). • A mechanism for registering and storing them (Registry) • A mechanism for declaring a Trading Partners’ capabilities and what Business Processes and Information they use/support (CPP)

  47. More Concepts • Mechanism for describing a Trading Partner Agreement (CPA) • Standardized messaging service (MSH) • Methodology/process for modelling the real world business and translating it into XML. (UMM and UML to XML rules)
