  1. ebXML Overview Dick Raman CEO - TIE Holding NV Chairman CEN/ISSS eBES Vice Chair EEMA and HoD in UN/CEFACT Former ebXML Steering Group

  2. Agenda • eBES • B2B Integration • What is ebXML? • Migration Issues • The way forward ebXML Awareness

  3. eBES • European Board for eBusiness Standardization • EBES & XML/EDI Workshops • Continue existing activities • Open participation • Plenary Meetings • One European Forum ebXML Awareness

  4. ebXML Awareness

  5. eBES Activities • European Point-of-View • Semantics (UN/CEFACT) • Infrastructure (OASIS) • Awareness (SMEs) • Virtual Info Center • Campaigns • Facilitate eBusiness in Europe • Vendor Forum • Next Meeting 18/19 June 2002 ebXML Awareness

  6. Objectives • ebXML is not just another acronym • ebXML covers the whole eBusiness spectrum • ebXML infrastructure is specified • Standardization takes place at a higher level than messages • Repositories play a crucial role ebXML Awareness

  7. XML and EDI • What EDI needs from XML • Internet Foundation • Technical Know-how • IT Industry Support • Marketing • What XML needs from EDI • Business Know-how • Semantics • User Support ebXML Awareness

  8. ebXML • Initiative started Summer 1999 • UN/CEFACT & OASIS • Kick-Off November 1999 • 18 Months (until May 2001) • Continuation: • OASIS – Infra-structure • UN-CEFACT - Semantics ebXML Awareness

  9. Emerging eBusiness Model ebXML Awareness Source: Gartner, May 2000

  10. Enterprise Integration CRM eBiz SCM Enterprise ERP “Framework” Source: Gartner ebXML Awareness

  11. B2B Integration CRM eBiz SCM Enterprise ERP “Framework” Ent 2 Ent 3 Multi-Enterprise cCommerce Framework Source: Gartner ebXML Awareness

  12. The Multi-Enterprise cCommerce Framework • Interoperable, open, global, B2B ‘standard’ • Complex solution and SME support • Leveraging existing technologies and standards • Integration of business processes: • By electronic means • Independent of the technical solution. • Allowing business processes and technologies to evolve independently

  13. ebXML Focus Areas • Semantic Framework • Meta-model for defining business process • A set of re-useable core components (common business semantics) • Infrastructure • Transport, Routing, Packaging • Business Service Interface • Collaboration Protocol Profiles/Agreements • Shared repository network • company profiles, business process models and related message structures ebXML Awareness

  14. Specs Processes Company A 1.ebXML Adoption Core Components 3.Define Business Semantics 2.Define Business Process 4.Construct Collaboration Profile 5.Understand the Registry ebXML Registry 6. Register the Profile 7.Find Partner 9.Make Agreement 8.Exchange Profile Company B 11.Trade 10.Select Transport (12.Security)

  15. Architecture ebXML Awareness

  16. Architectural Layers Security Business Collaboration Registry Business Process Business Semantics Messaging ebXML Awareness

  17. Process Hierarchy Process Classification Business Process Agreement Partner Types Business Collaboration Economic Event Choreography Request Document Roles Business Transaction Response Document Business Collaboration ebXML Awareness

  18. Business Process Terminology Business Process • Define for trading partners: • Role and Role interactions • Relationships • Responsibilities • Business Transactions Collaboration Transaction Document(s) Transaction Collaboration ebXML Awareness

  19. Core Components • Designed to capture: • Business concepts (commonality) • Relationship between business concepts • Individual pieces (objects) of business information in a context • Format: • Syntax Neutral • Can contain other core components • Uniquely identified (GUid) • Facilitate multi-lingual support ebXML Awareness

  20. Sample Core Component ebXML Awareness

  21. Semantic Reconciliation • Categories of CCs in a tree-structure • All uniquely defined in a repository • Define your BP and CCs • Map against the tree (find GUids) • Derive message structure • Names/Tags are irrelevant ebXML Awareness

  22. Registry & Repositories • Registry points to Repositories • Retrieval of collaboration profiles • Repository of relationships(Business Processes) • Rules for exchanging information • Repository of Core Components • Industry Sector equivalents • Multi-language ebXML Awareness

  23. Registry • Repository of data relationships • Rules for exchanging information • Publicly available documents models • Examples: DTD, schemas… • Retrieval of profiles • Secured access - authentication • Registry of services and clients • Simple to use globally • Easily discoverable via internet • Scalability • Based on industry standards ebXML Awareness

  24. XML Document (incl DTD) Information on business capabilities Can contain: Party Information Transport Protocol Transport Security Protocol Messaging Protocol Time Out/Retry Information Collaboration Protocol Profile ebXML Awareness

  25. Transport Structure

  26. Challenges • Capturing Business Semantics • Repository based semantic reconciliation • Defining the Road-map • Removing barriers in Europe • SME involvement ebXML Awareness

  27. Migration Issues • UN/EDIFACT is still the world standard • Migration to ebXML will take place • From all standards (XML and EDI) • Experiment with XML…learn! • Describe your own BP and CCs • Define your CPP • Use XML messages derived from EDI ebXML Awareness

  28. The way forward • New structure for UN/CEFACT • Participate! • Definition of CCs is coming • All industry groups need to do some homework • This is a fundamental, but slow process ebXML Awareness
