Subject: Re: [bdx] Proposal for a TC recharter

Kenneth,
This is a very interesting proposal.
I think that it would be very useful
to have a discussion of the proposal via the BDX TC email list ahead of
the proposed meeting
on the 29th February, so that we can
make more effective use of the time during that meeting.
I note that the proposed new charter
for the TC appears to include a substantial broadening of the scope of
the TC, which to me
implies more work and as a result a
longer schedule for the TC. In addition, the new charter is vague
about the actual specifications
that will be produced by the TC, so
that it is difficult to understand the amount of work that the TC will
produce. I note that progress
on the specifications currently agreed
under the existing TC charter has not been swift - how is the new charter
likely to affect
progress going forward?
Yours, Mike

Dear BDX TC
To move the work of the TC into a broader
scope and to accommodate requirements raised by BDX adopters, some members
of the TC have worked out a proposal for a rechartering of the OASIS Business
Document Exchange TC. The proposal for the rechartering is submitted in
accordance with the OASIS TC Process section 2.12:
http://oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#rechartering
The proposed new charter is being submitted
by the following members of the TC:
Roger Bass, Traxian
Kenneth Bengtsson, Alfa1lab
Pim van der Eijk, Sonnenglanz Consulting
Klaus Vilstrup Pedersen, Difi-Agency for
Public Management and eGovernment
Sven Rasmussen, Danish Ministry of Science,
Technology and Innovation
Susanne Wigard, Land Nordrhein-Westfalen
We kindly request that the TC chairs arrange
for a TC meeting the week of February 27 2012 to discuss the proposed new
charter below. Depending on the outcome of these discussions we can proceed
to formally adopt the changes using the process described in the OASIS
TC Process.
====================================================
Name of TC:
OASIS Business Document Exchange TC
Statement of Purpose:
The BDX standard will describe an architecture
(or sets of reference architectures) where two entities exchange business
documents in a secure and reliable way through the use of gateways (sometimes
also referred to as access points), which is also known as the “four-corner
model”.
The purpose of the TC is therefore to define
the specifications of a federated messaging and trust infrastructure for
data exchange and web services interoperability between domains. Here,
a “domain” can be any community whose members (a) are connected through
a shared system, and (b) may interact with others across domains.
Regardless of each domain’s internal workings,
such interactions entail them each consuming and exposing to others over
the Internet certain interfaces. These specifications should provide a
framework for domains to interoperate securely and reliably (via Web Services),
which can therefore be viewed as an Inter-cloud Web Services framework.
The TC specifications should be lightweight
but, wherever and to the extent possible, based on profiles of existing
standards from OASIS and elsewhere that are widely-used and proven, or
otherwise seen to be generally applicable. Approaches that are modular
and agnostic about data content and implementation architectures will be
preferred.
The TC will focus first on requirements
for exchanges between groups of related domains around standardized processes/data.
Requirements of cross-domain business documents exchange, with its corresponding
use cases, and implied interoperability requirements will inform prioritization
of the TC’s initial deliverables. The TC will specifically address requirements
from the Large Scale Pilots (“LSPs”) in the area of e-government PEPPOL,
e-CODEX and SPOCS.
In certain areas the work will therefore
initially be centered on the work of these LSPs (notably on SMLP around
identity and service discovery, addressing and profiling), and will also
consider other approaches and related specifications (e.g. DNS, ebXML CPA,
UDDI, ebXML RegRep, WS-Discovery), The TC may define or profile more than
one such specification(s).
In other areas, published specifications
today may be absent or have gaps. In such cases the TC will attempt
to identify relevant standards or work-in-progress at OASIS or other SDOs
to establish liaisons with and provide requirements for such efforts, as
needed.
Scope of work of the TC:
The specific objectives will be to define,
specify and maintain the following:
1) Use cases and requirements, based on
submissions;
2) Profiling / gap analysis of existing
standards with reference to the use cases and requirements, potentially
including:
a) Addressing / Routing / Discovery
(SML and related technologies)
b) Service profiles/Capabilities
(SMP, CPA and others)
c) Identity/Authentication
d) Trust Frameworks
e) Transport / Reliable Messaging
(e.g. AS4)
3) Unified architecture for all processes
necessary and sufficient for the superset of supported use cases;
4) Specifications for SML/SMP will be developed
within the TC;
5) PEPPOL specifications for the START
and LIME protocols.
List of deliverables:
Technical specifications for protocols
supporting distributed discovery of locations and e-business and technical
capabilities of exchange partners.
Profiles of B2B messaging protocols for
use in four-corner (or multi-corner) topologies.
IPR Mode under which the TC will operate:
The TC will operate under the Non-Assertion
Mode.
The anticipated audience or users of
the work:
The initial target groups for the TC are:
- Enterprise procurement vendors
and supplier networks
- Software companies (e.g. providers
of middleware and business applications)
- Supplier information management
providers
- Public institutions
- Financial institutions and payment
networks
- Large private companies
Language of the Technical Committee:
The business of the Technical Committee
will be conducted in English.
Liaisons:
The initial list of liaisons that will
be established includes: OASIS ebXML Technical Committees, ETSI ESI and
OASIS Identity in the Cloud TC.
Other liaisons will be established in the
course of the work.
