  2. Overview • What is ebXML? • ebXML Registry Overview • Key Features • Use Cases • Key Benefits • ebXML Registry TC Work • Summary

  3. What is ebXML (“e-business XML”) ? • UN/CEFACT • United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business • Created and maintains the UN/EDIFACT standards for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) • OASIS • Organization for Advancement of Structured Information Standards • Consortium hosting XML and related standards work • Joint initiative of UN/CEFACT and OASIS • Phase 1: 1999-2001, initial specifications • Phase 2: 2001-2003, v2 & deployments • Phase 3: 2003-now, v3 & enhancements • Service-oriented architecture • Built up from user requirements • “Next generation” from EDI, leveraging XML and Web technology • Designed for B2B transactional reliability and enforceability • Semantic and technical interoperability

  4. ebXML Modules • Business Process (ebBP) (submission to ISO this summer) • Support for complex business interactions • Choreography (public process) • Binding to message protocols via CPA • Collaboration Protocols Agreements (CPA) ISO 15000-1 • Bilateral message service and partner configuration • Binding to the ebXML Messaging Service (ebMS) • Messaging Service (ebMS) ISO 15000-2 • Secure, reliable messaging, binding to CPA • Version 2 certified interoperable messaging since 2002 • Registry & Repository ISO 15000-3 and 15000-4 • Information model and registry services • Core Components • Information model for vocabularies and business documents

  5. ebXML Registry Technical Committee • Defining and managing interoperable registries and repositories • The OASIS ebXML Registry TC develops specifications to achieve interoperable registries and repositories, with an interface that enables submission, query and retrieval on the contents of the registry and repository • http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/regrep

  6. OASIS ebXML Registry TC Deliverables • ebXML Registry Information Model (RIM) v3.0 • Defines what metadata and content can be stored in the registry • ebXML Registry Services and Protocols (RS) v3.0 • Defines the services and service interfaces • Defines the API for accessing the registry/repository • Ongoing work • Developing profiles for specific domains • Developing conformance specifications

  7. What is ebXML Registry? • A registry as well as a repository • Classifies of any type of information • Manages relationships between information objects • Supports taxonomy hosting, browsing and validation • Organizes and manages information • A content management system for secure, federated information • Provides services for sharing content and metadata between entities in a federated environment • Logs lifecycle management actions in an audit trail • Supports automatic versioning of objects

  8. Library Manages books, journals, CDs, etc Shelves contain items Catalog describes items Library network ebXML Registry Manages digital content Repository contains digital content Registry describes digital content Registry federation ebXML Registry is Like a Library

  9. ebXML Registry is Used to… • Manage information • Describe information with metadata • Discover information • Share information securely over the web with role-based access control • Share information across organizational boundaries • Link content through relationships • Navigate to related content • Deliver notification of changes

  10. Attributes for Object Registration • Classifications • Zero or more classifications (taxonomies) • Description • Textual description • External Identifiers • Zero or more – serve as alternate identifiers for the object • Logical ID • Each object must have a Logical ID • Name • Human readable object name • Object type • Each registry object has an object type referenced to a classification node • Status (object life cycle) • Approved, deprecated, submitted, withdrawn • Version • Information about the specific version of the object • Slot • Provides a way to dynamically add attributes – enables extensibility of the information model

  11. Key ebXML Registry Features at a Glance Registration, Discovery, Queries ebXMLRegistry Registry Repository Federated Queries, Inter-registry links Taxonomies, Classifications, Associations Federated Information Manage-ment Standard Metadata Content management Secure Architecture Cataloging,Content Validation,Version Control,Lifecycle Support,Extensible Information Model Digital Signatures,Audit Trail,Access Control,SAML SSO Events Content-Based Event Notification

  12. Key Features and Services • Standard metadata • Provides standards-based way to manage information assets • Classification and affiliation • Manages user-defined organization of and relationships among content and metadata • Content validation and cataloging • Enforces conformance of content to user-defined standards • Lifecycle management • Provides governance for managing information asset lifecycles

  13. Key Features and Services (2) • Event notification and subscription • Facilitates event-based delivery of information to appropriate personnel or systems • Security • Manages secure access to information assets • Federation • Enables integration of information assets across organizational boundaries • Query and Discovery • Provides flexible mechanisms for content discovery

  14. ebXML Registry/RepositoryDesign Time Use

  15. ebXML Registry/Repository Run Time Use

  16. Federated InformationManagement • Multiple ebXML registries may be federated together to appear as a single virtual registry/repository • Seamless information integration and sharing • Allows local autonomy over data • ebXML registry relies on Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) – the federated identity management standard

  17. Many Diverse Use Cases • Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) registry repository • Web content management • Controlled vocabulary management • Taxonomies, ontologies, etc. • Business process catalog • Electronic forms • ebXML core components catalog • Domain-specific use cases • Electronic medical records (IHE-XDS) • Geological information systems (Open GIS) • Metadata store for grid computing

  18. Need for SOA Registry/Repository • Rising complexity of SOA • Many types of artifacts (WSDL, XML Schema, BPEL, policies, XSLT, WSRP • Many dependencies and relationships • Governance of SOA artifacts • Single point of contact to enforce organizational policies • Governance enforced where SOA artifacts are stored • Registry is not enough – need repository • Repository stores the actual artifacts • Registry stores metadata about the artifacts • An integrated registry/repository ensures consistent storage and access • Management and reuse of artifacts according to organizational policies

  19. 4 SOA Scenario With Governance 5 Define policies: visibility, access, lifecyle stage, etc. Service Administrator Service Consumer

  20. Case Study: Government of Canada/Ontario • Vision • Improve service quality to Canadian people and businesses through cost-effective eServices at all levels of government • Target • Leverage the power of XML to deliver those services via collaboration across jurisdictions • Strategy • Enable service delivery infrastructure by utilizing a federated registry and repository
