BUSINESS DOCUMENT ENVELOPE (BDE)

Work on the Business Document Envelope (BDE) was kicked off today. The project is to create a standardized set of XML headers and an XML wrapper that can encompass any business document and can be routed across multiple networks and multiple hops. The BDE must as such be agnostic to both payload and transport protocol. The TC decided to name the work product the “Business Document Envelope” (abbreviated “BDE”).

The UBL TC has been doing initial work on a BDE, including initial requirements and use cases, draft documents and straw man schema (see: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/bdxr/201501/msg00002.html). This work has generously been offered to the BDXR TC and is available for download here: https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ubl/download.php/54702/Archive.zip.

It was agreed to individually review the submission before next meeting with special emphasis on the straw man, and to take time at our next meeting to discuss the straw man and let Ken Holman answer questions.

Ken Holman offered to edit the BDE specification and to create the artifacts, with the precondition that the TC as a group will help gather and assess business requirements. Ken will request a starter document from TC Admin.

Both the CEN BII group and the e-SENS project are working on requirements for a business document envelope. Ole will liaise with Jostein Fromyr from CEN BII to see if there is an interest from CEN BII to work together on a set of requirements, and Sven will reach out to Klaus Vilstrup of e-SENS to see the status of their work.

ANY OTHER BUSINESS

There was no other business for this meeting.
