Subject: RE: [egov] FW: Semantic Interoperability for E-Government Conference

Hello
John
The
egov list is one that I try to follow but unfortunately I do not have time to
engage with it usually.
However, this thread reminds me that maybe the UN/CEFACT Core Component
Library version 1.0 that is now available could really be interesting to
governments as a major step towards greater semantic operability especially in
the context of 'single windows' to government or 'one stop' access points to
government.
We
know that several key business standards organisations such as Rosettanet, OAGi,
UBL, GS1, CIDX etc., some key s/w providers such as SAP and Oracle as well as
several administrations such as WCO (World Customs Organisation) etc. have
already indicated their interest or intention to adopt this approach and to
reuse the UN/CEFACT CC Library.
For
example, in the UK we are currently actively investigating the
adoption of this UN/CEFACT CCTS (aka ISO 15000-5 and aka ebXML Core
Components) approach.and the reuse of the UN/CEFACT CC Library by our
International Trade Single Window project team.
regards
Sue
UN/CEFACT Forum Vice-Chair
Hello
Peter,
Will
try to get the word out sooner. The Wikki referenced below will be updated
at the conference to include the latest presentations.
Cheers,
John
Thanks for this but one remark (rant
coming....)
OASIS is a global organisation: if there is stuff that is
likely to be of interest for an audience beyond the US of A - as is the case
with this conference - can you all please give a little
more notice? There is no way I could get any travel order organised at such
notice, however interested I am...
I'm sorry John that you catch this flak, but it's a general
comment to the whole list.
I"d make one practical and hopefully helpful suggestion:
whoever flags up a conference or event on the list should feel morally obliged
to report back to the list after the event, at least with pointers to where
documents and info might be found, if not with a more personal "report" on the
activity.
All the best,
Peter

Themes are going to become: "knowledge worker automation" and semantic
platforms that enable this. The value proposition cuts two ways: (a)
knowledge worker "super-productivity" (providing a motivation for personal
satisfaction), and (b) "doing more with less" (providing enterprise
justification to invest). Killer Apps will include semantic search, semantic
collaboration, semantic portals, and composite applications. See for
example: Building
