  1. Towards the new Millennium! Introduction to the work of the Techniques and Methodologies Working Group UN/EDIFACT Working Group Meeting Atlanta, 24 March 1999 By Klaus-Dieter Naujok UN/CEFACT/TMWG Chair

  3. Is There a Problem? Did EDI reach critical mass after 20+ years? Using EDI 95% 98% EDI Capable 2% 5% FORTUNE 1000 OTHER BUSINESSES (c) 1999 by Klaus-Dieter Naujok. All right reserved.

  4. Techniques &Methodologies Work Grouping’s Mission To research and identify techniques and methodologies which could be utilized by UN/CEFACT and its working groups to enhance the process by which its deliverables are produced and integrated.

  6. Techniques • Business & Information Modeling • Unified Modeling Language (UML) • Distributed Object Technology • Common Object Request Broker (CORBA) • Dynamic Common Object Model (DCOM) • Remote Method Invocation (RMI) • extendable Metadata Interchange (XMI & XML) • Open-EDI Reference Model (c) 1999 by Klaus-Dieter Naujok. All right reserved.

  7. Techniques Business & Information Modeling + Distributed Object Technology + Open-edi Reference Model = OO-edi (c) 1999 by Klaus-Dieter Naujok. All right reserved.

  8. OO-edi requires a paradigm shift • Shift the focus on EDI standards to the business processes and the business practices behind them • Decompose EDI business processes to the level of individual tasks that are more generic to the type of business • Identify activities (i.e., transformations) and object classes that are likely candidates for standardization (c) 1999 by Klaus-Dieter Naujok. All right reserved.

  9. Implementations using different transport technologies physical/ logical object model virtual class library technology buffer application(s) OOA Java current-EDI new-EDI OLE CORBA RMI Messages ICSDEF objects segments data objects distributed databases shared databases in-house application data (c) 1999 by Klaus-Dieter Naujok.

  16. Unified Process • Development is an iterative process • Manages requirements • Visual modeling (Analysis & Design) • Employs component-based architecture • Verifies product’s quality • Controls changes to the product (c) 1999 by Klaus-Dieter Naujok. All right reserved.

  17. XML Recommendation (overall view) (c) 1999 by Klaus-Dieter Naujok. All right reserved.

  20. XML Recommendations • Harmonization and simplification work effort must continue to identify the core data. • UN/CEFACT should encourage W3C to develop a simple XML Repository as soon as possible to stop the proliferation of XML tag names and DTDs. • UN/CEFACT should encourage CommerceNet, the XML/EDI group, W3C, ANSI ASC X12C/TG3 and member software companies to adopt standardized tag names and DTDs for XML interchange file formats to help the SME integrate data. • Standard Web form objects need to be developed for UN Layout Key web pages. • UN/CEFACT should limit its resources’ use of XML to Web forms and distributed object messages. • UN/CEFACT should NOT recast UN/EDIFACT messages into XML based on algorithms run against EDI Directories. • UN/CEFACT should encourage W3C to accelerate work on the W3C WebBroker Note and progress it to a W3C Recommendation as soon as possible.
