Codification Today • To consider the implications of Codification: • We must understand • What it is • What it does • And How it works
Codification Today • Then we can consider the implications for various facets of the digital economy • e-procurement • e-commerce • Usability / accessibility • search efficiency
So What is it? • Dictionary of centrally controlled concept identifiers, terms, definitions and images • Processes for requesting new ones • Easy to use tools to find them • Open Source tools to enable you • Open source standards
What does it do • Allows for accurate search’s • B2B / B2G data transfer • Allows exact comparisons across multiple sites • Alleviates the issue of languages • Improves the user experience • Lowers costs
How does it do it • eOTD - a dictionary of standard technical terminology • Terms, definitions and images linked to concept identifiers • EIGR - a registry of implementation guides • Prescribed classes, properties and enumerated property values defined by buyers • ESNR a registry of catalogued items • Items (goods and services) described using property-value pairs
What is a Bolt? In terms of semantics its not an easy question • Is it a nut and bolt • Is it a bolt for a door • Or is it a rifle bolt • Or even a length of cloth • How about in another language • Cerrojo • Schraube • Задвижка • 門閂
Examples • Ordering a bouquet of Flowers off the web. • Describing Hotel rooms for online booking. • Buying a car and comparing prices. • Emergency service – sending descriptions • Speed dating !
e-procurement • Online reverse auctions • Increased user confidence • Lower costs • Faster and better information • Easier Data mapping !
e-commerce • Better user experience • Increased user Confidence • Selling more • that means buying more web services
Usability • Comparative data sets • User confidence • Far better levels of description – automatically • Multi Lingual
Worked example • A realistic expectation = Fresh Mango • Worst Case = Fruit • Best Case = Large Fresh Mango • Fruit, fresh; Material: Mango; Colour: Red; Unit net weight: 6oz; Size: 15 cm; Count per pack: 9; Pack price: £2.50
Simple listing <Attribute EGAI="021636" Value="013942" /> <Attribute EGAI="027375" Value="4959" /> <Attribute EGAI="021638" Value="000038" /> <Attribute EGAI="000160" Value="Red" /> <Attribute EGAI="027376" Value="9" /> <Attribute EGAI="027377" Value="6 oz" /> <Attribute EGAI="027378" Value="£2.50" /> <Attribute EGAI=“001020" Value=“15 cm" />
Expanded listing <Attribute EGAI="021636" EGAI_Title="Eccma global commodity identifier (EGCI)" Code_value="013942" Text_value="Fresh fruit" /> <Attribute EGAI="027375" EGAI_Title="Product number" Code_value="" Text_value="4959" /> <Attribute EGAI="001020" EGAI_Title=“Size" Code_value="" Text_value=“15 cm" /> <Attribute EGAI="000160" EGAI_Title="Colour" Code_value="" Text_value="Red" /> <Attribute EGAI="021638" EGAI_Title="Eccma global material identifier (EGMI)" Code_value="000038" Text_value="Mango" /> <Attribute EGAI="027376" EGAI_Title="Count per pack" Code_value="" Text_value="9" /> <Attribute EGAI="027377" EGAI_Title="Unit net weight" Code_value="" Text_value="6 oz" /> <Attribute EGAI="027378" EGAI_Title="Pack price" Code_value="" Text_value="£2.50" />
Real Life <Attribute EGAI="021638" Text_value="Mango" /> <Attribute EGAI="000160" EGAI_Title="Colour" Text_value="Red" /> <Attribute EGAI="027377" EGAI_Title="Weight" Text_value="6 oz" /> <Attribute EGAI="001020" EGAI_Title=“Size" Text_value=“15 cm" /> A screen reader could then read. Mango, Colour = Red, Weight = 6oz, Size =15 cm And to provide this all you would need is <Attribute EGAI="027375" Value="4959" />
Search Efficiency (being found!) • Internet Search • In site Search
A Platform for Innovation • New technology facilitates new uses • Another step in Internet evolution • Many identical products, re-badged and marketed differently • Remove the hype • Uniform descriptions of features • Avoids misleading acronyms • Easily automated online product comparisons
Summery The codification heralds advances in: • e-procurement • e-commerce • Usability • search efficiency
Conclusion: • There is an opportunity: • To get new business (work with government and big business) • To innovate new concepts using the code • To become recognised and an exponent
Recommendation: • Learn • Try it • Master it • Publicise what you can do • Partner if needed for large projects • Make the most of it!
