CEN CWA 16667 Reference Architecture 2.0 for eBusiness harmonisationin T

The European Standards Organization CEN has published CEN Workshop 
Agreement (CWA) 16667, Reference Architecture 2.0 for eBusiness 
harmonisation in Textile/Clothing and Footwear sectors. It offers a 
Guideline of the updated Reference Architecture (RA) for the eBusiness 
harmonisation in the Textile Clothing and Footwear sectors as it results 
from the activities of the CEN Workshop “eBusiness in the textile, 
clothing and footwear sectors (WS eBIZ)”.

The eBIZ architecture aims to enable interoperability between existing 
systems and organisations. Achieving it, would lower the threshold for 
starting eBusiness both for large enterprises and for medium and small 
actors in the supply chain and would also encourage technology suppliers 
to provide better support and services for eBusiness. It can be used as 
reference both for new eBusiness implementations and by existing users 
needing to modify their systems or to achieve interoperability with others.

The CWA references various ebXML components including ebBP, CPPA, ebMS 
3.0 and AS4.
