Subject: re: UN/CEFACT ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF ebXML TECHNICAL STANDARDS WORK PROGRAMME WITH OASIS


Jamie,

Please advise.  Where does this leave the JMT?  Are we done now?

If not - then when can we expect our new Charter to be provided to us?

Also - if we are going to continue - I believe we strongly need 
direct support at least for a half-time person, if not more, to really
drive for all that is needed.

Thanks, DW.

UN/CEFACT ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF ebXML TECHNICAL STANDARDS 
WORK PROGRAMME WITH OASIS
UN/CEFACT CONTINUES DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGY- AND 
IMPLEMENTATION-NEUTRAL E-BUSINESS STANDARDS

Geneva, Switzerland, 21 August 2003 —The United Nations Centre for 
Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) announces the 
successful completion of the ebXML technical standards work with the 
Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards 
(OASIS). UN/CEFACT continues to capitalize on the gains made from ebXML 
in the further development of technology-neutral and 
implementation-neutral global e-Business standards for government, 
industry and commerce.

UN/CEFACT and OASIS have since 1999 been working on a joint initiative 
to expand the use and growth of the Internet by developing the next 
generation of electronic business standards based on XML (eXtensible 
Markup Language). The ebXML (electronic Business with XML) initiative 
called for an 18-month worldwide open development project to create a 
technical framework enabling the use of XML as a consistent means for 
the exchange of electronic business data. The original ebXML initiative 
concluded in May 2001 with full community approval of a framework of 
technical specifications.

For the past two years, UN/CEFACT and OASIS have enjoyed a close 
working relationship to finalize the set of ebXML specifications, and 
in May 2003 the UN/CEFACT Plenary adopted these as  UN/CEFACT Technical 
Specifications.

  “Working closely with our colleagues at OASIS has been a unique 
opportunity for UN/CEFACT to lead the development of global technology 
standards and help drive awareness of how XML and Internet technology 
support government, industry and commerce” says Ray Walker, Chair of 
the UN/CEFACT Steering Group. “We are extremely proud of our OASIS 
working relationship and we remain open to working with OASIS in the 
future.”

UN/CEFACT, which is based at UNECE in Geneva and has a global remit, 
has led the development of international standards for electronic 
transactions. Its experience and its ability to bring together 
world-class experts and match trends in information technology with 
business requirements, in an open and transparent way, gives it a 
unique viewpoint.

” Recognition that the next technology trend is just around the corner 
resulted in the recent UN/CEFACT Plenary meeting directing a new work 
programme to move UN/CEFACT closer to web services” said Dr Christian 
Fruhwald, Chair of UN/CEFACT. “This new work, known as UN/CEFACT 
Business Collaboration Framework (BCF), will allow UN/CEFACT to 
identify the growing needs of government, commercial and industrial 
organizations as they approach their global information exchange 
requirements.”

“Going forward we expect to make use of much of our ebXML technical 
work as we continue to develop UN/CEFACT’s technology neutral and 
implementation neutral global e-framework. We hope to use the newly 
established liaisons with the OASIS Business Process Execution Language 
(BPEL) Technical Committee (TC), plus the Web Services Interoperability 
Organization (WS-I) and our UN/CEFACT Techniques and Methodologies 
Business Process Working Group to align our efforts, and eliminate 
duplication of work”, says Klaus-Dieter Naujok Chair of UN/CEFACT 
Techniques and Methodologies Group and former Chair of the ebXML 
Project.
