  3. Objectives: To facilitate international trade and electronic transfer of data for cross border trade by developing, publishing and maintaining a coordinated set of international standards including the UN/CEFACT Trade Reference Model, a comprehensive cross-domain data model, UN/EDIFACT and XML document structures, document presentation methodologies and box completion guidelines. To enable the development of simple low-cost solutions to support the generation and exchange of standardised paper and/or electronic international trade documents by implementing existing standards and recommendations. UNeDocs Project ASEAL meeting – Leeds Castle - UK

  4. UNeDocs Milestones In 2002: UN/ECE Secretariat and SITPRO signed an MoU to combine the UN/ECE UNeDocs ‘proof of concept’ project with the SITPRO ElecTra project and to collaborate on the future development of UNeDocs In 2005: UN/ECE Secretariat and SITPRO approved the transfer of their joint UNeDocs work into the UN/CEFACT Forum as a TBG project for the next stage of development. ASEAL meeting – Leeds Castle - UK

  6. A Business Process Model illustrating where the UNeDocs documents fit into the operation of the International Supply Chain based on the UNCEFACT International Supply Chain Reference Model. An ISO 15000 Part 5 compliant Common Data Model based on candidate or published UNCEFACT (ebXML) Core Components that are linked to the UNTDED/ISO 7372. A methodology for the presentation of data contained in electronic data exchanges onto electronic or paper forms and the update of UNLK to become eUNLK. For each document the project will develop: oA class diagram and document structure oThe paper and electronic, re-usable layout description of the documentbased on the UN Layout Key oBox Completion Guidelines oXML profiles oUN/EDIFACT message implementation guide Project Deliverables · · · · ASEAL meeting – Leeds Castle - UK

UNLK – UN/ECE Rec. 1The unsung Global Hero • First published 1973 • UNTDED (ISO 7372) • Flexible aligned data presentation which has become the de facto standard for the majority of international trade documents • Foundation for International transport conventions e.g. Maritime B/L (ICS), Airwaybill (IATA), Road CMR (IRU), Rail CIM (UIC) etc. • Foundation of Customs and other Regulatory Procedures e.g. SAD, Phyto-Sanitary Certificates, Cert of Origins etc. • Hundreds of document formats based on UNLK across trade, transport, finance, customs, insurance, inspection etc. • Basis for box completion guidelines etc. ASEAL meeting – Leeds Castle - UK
