UN/CEFACT Forum Workflow

1. UN/CEFACT Forum Workflow ICG/TBG/ATG 2003-03-14

2. Modeller Define business requirements Harmonisation B R M B R S DRAFT DRAFT TBG Repository An internal working draft is produced for verification A project team of business analysts and modellers develop the Business Requirements Specification (BRS) The business analyst identifies a business requirement and proposes a project to the appropiate TBG working group The specification is Harmonised, candidate core components are identified, Requirements Specification Mapping (RSM) developed The existing repositories are used to check existance of basic building blocks Business Requirements Workflow

3. ATG Public review B R M B R S B R S DRAFT DRAFT DRAFT OK Internal draft For validation BRS sent out for public review under the ODP process ATG technically accesses and approves BRS for public review TBG

4. The compliant BRS and CCs are registered ICG Modeller Define business requirements Verify conformity BRS Harmonisation Update repository issues Approval RSM Validate RSM TBG Repository Publish TBG Repository ICG Creation The RSM is validated and may be updated The specifications are verifed for conformity A TBG leader follows the BRS through the ICG process All registered documents are published in the repository The Requirements specification and/or core component candidates are validated by the TBG for submission to ICG Formal Business requirements specifications and/or candidate core component specifications are approved Business Requirements Workflow

5. During the implementation process new core component candidates may be identified ICG ATG Verify conformity Generate Syntax specific core components BRS Validate RSM Generate Syntax specific Business documents RSM RSM Update repository Validate syntax solution Syntax solution For publication Audit implementations Repository Publish ICG ATG Newly identified syntax neutral core components in the RSM are transformed into relevant syntaxes Registered BRS are implemented in required syntax. The RSM is updated as required The syntax solution is audited against the specifications for conformity The syntax solution is registered and published The ICG transmits the RSM to the ATG for the implementation of a syntax solution The syntax solution is validated before submission The TBG Leader oversees the development of the syntax solution Business Requirements Workflow

6. Other Information flows • Core components may be placed in the repository via an RSM after harmonisation and validation. • The TBG may issue maintenance requests on syntax solutions that are directly processed by the ATG and audited by the ICG. • Syntax independent code list modifications are processed by the ICG and are submitted to ODP approval. • A draft of the BRS/RSM template will be available prior to the next Forum meeting.
