12 Cross Industry Invoice (CII) Maximum data-set invoice which covers multiple sectors and multiple types of commodities Part of a group of messages called the Cross-Industry family of deliverables. Based on Core Component Library (CCL) Semantic base definitions compatible with all other UN/CEFACT deliverables And compatible with other organizations that are compliant with CCL: WCO, IATA, GS1 12

13 UN/CEFACT Process driven approach UN/CEFACT evolution From Document centric to Process driven artefacts (Contextualized Business Artefacts) Supports Document centric & Process driven workflows Standardized syntax-neutral data exchange structures, based on common Master data exchange structure (from which complete documents and/or snippets of documents can be created in any chosen syntax e.g. XML, JSON or UN/EDIFACT etc.)

14 UN/CEFACT Semantic Hub for Standardization Benefits of UN/CEFACT Semantic Models Standardized data exchange syntax-neutral structures, based on common Master data exchange structure The support of information sharing, such as enabled by data pipelines, with the timely capture of quality data from original data sources ensuring supply chain visibility Reduction of administrative burden by efficient reuse of data shared within the BUY SHIP PAY domain model Common basis for implementing in chosen data exchange syntax(es) 14

15 UN/CEFACT Semantic Hub for Standardization Some UN/CEFACT tools: UN/CEFACT Core Component Library UN/CEFACT Business Requirement Specifications UN Code Lists (UN Recommendations and UN/EDIFACT) UN/EDIFACT (syntax) UN/CEFACT XML (syntax) UN Recommendations 15

18 Reference Data Model we did not try to fix the 400 year old road infrastructure in our cities we created super highways to support physical movement similarly we have now developed Reference Data Models for defining required Process Driven information flows to be exchanged along super highways for information 18

19 Authorities want better quality data Data Pipeline Results from three EU projects (Cassandra, CORE & SELIS). Innovative methodology to recuperate data at the source and thus improve data quality.
