The overview of NWI “Framework for Identification and Classification of Enterprise Objects”

1. Attachment of ISO/IEC JTC1 SC32 N587 The overview of NWI“Framework for Identification and Classification of Enterprise Objects” ISO/IEC JTC1/SC32/WG2 Oct.15, 2000 Hajime Horiuchi Masaharu Obayashi (Japan)

2. Introduction This NWI proposal is intending to initiate a new standardization activity within ISO/IEC JTC1 SC32, which focuses on the common view to metadata and metamodels for categorizing and structuring enterprise business objects, extending ISO/IEC 11179 Specifications. The enterprise objects which consist of both information elemetns and process elements, should be used, not only in the software development efforts of a particular organization, but also, in the interchanging and sharing them among different organizations by the means such as the Electronic Commerce (EC), Electronic Data Interchange (EDI).

3. Purpose and Justification This proposal intends to establish a common reference model for the effective and efficient interchanging, sharing and reusing of various type of business objects standards, which could be developed by many standard groups, within ISO or outside of ISO and a lot of industrial consortia. To achieve the purpose, following standardization activities should be initiated. • Establishment of the consensus on the Metamodel Framework Architecture • Change Proposal to IS11179-3 as a Normative Defining Scheme to cope with the NWI • Stock taking current Modeling Facilities, Metamodeling Facilities, Metamodel Interchanging Facilities and establishment of the consensus on the use of them as normative. • Development of the Identification &Classification Scheme • Stock taking and Identification Common Modeling Construct • Definition of the Metamodel Registering Procedure

6. Basic Requirements for NWI

7. Collaborations between Businesses • Due to the proliferation of Internet and E-business, following type of collaborations became indispensable to current vivid enterprises. • exchanging information contents among different domains and different organizations across countries. • effective evaluation mechanism of proprietary components in both software and information content, by asking for each components to declare their ingredients with specifying standard elements. • evaluating business performance of the enterprise. • effective investigation of business modeling and its change which might cause information system changes. • Those benefits are mainly brought by providing common bases for both business peoples and IT peoples.

9. Harmonized standard development with the Normative Reference Model Today, so many industrial standard groups, such as, OMG, ebXML, UN/CEFACT, OASYS, EAN, CPFR, UCC, Rosetta-net, CBOP, etc. are in charge of development of domain specific business models or protocols. However, it is difficult to find any standards in ISO, which specify common basses that help consistent developments of standards for business modeling or interchanging in business domains. It must be urgent to both ISO and consortia, to establish a common normative framework to keep harmonization in the enterprise business modeling and interchange specifications, which will enable the appropriate segregations and cooperation between ISO and consortia. Although, UML is been discussed as ISO standards in ISO/IEC JTC1 SC7, there must be needed to standardize the common modeling constructs as the contents to be shared in enterprise business collaborations and business objects interchanging, not only for the software developments.

10. In the Markets: An Unified Metamodel Framework which enables Interchange & Sharing of the various type of enterprise business objects, in E-Commerce, E-Business, EDI, and the business collaborations, such as SCM, e-CRM, etc.. In the Vender Folks: An Unified Registering Scheme which allows the those who want to develop sharable enterprise business objects and those who want to access appropriate normative models, modeling constructs and objects in the developing easy to collaborate business systems. In the Standardizations: An Unified Metamodel Framework which establishes the harmonization of the different views to the modeling and the Interchanging of the enterprise business object, which were proposed by the individual domains of the standardization A Normative Scheme which enables the appropriate locating and positioning of their standard development activities, which were been taken place within ISO or outside of ISO.
