Re: [bdx] Why the OASIS Business Document Exchange TC is important for the future of e-business

["Roberto Cisternino" <roberto@javest.com>]

Hi all,
one of the issues I found from previous experiences is that the recipient
of the four-corner model could be not the effective recipient but just an
intermediary (e.g. a national hub) this reason for profiles like PEPPOL it
takes to have an additional routing specified in the document (or
transport).
Sometime the last mile can be accomplished with a simple email or other
means, but for allowing this final routing it is important to take care of
an additional address.
The Italian Public Administration has this problem because the actual
Participant Identifier (VAT or Fiscal Code) is not sufficient to
electronically identify all their offices.
For those using GLN maybe it is more easy to precisely identify all offices.

Actually my proposal has been to use a different Participant Identifier as
it seems they have another unique ID (called IPA), but there is not such a
scheme ID for that one yet.

So in any case an additional routing address for the effective office
could be a new requirement for BDX.

Hope this helps,

Roberto
