EU ITAIDE Research Project Slide 1

“Information Technology for Adoption and Intelligent Design for eGovernment”

A project overview from eStandards point of view

Proposal/Contract no.: 027829 Michael Dill, ITAIDe [email protected]




The overall project viewITAIDE develops a Canonical Information Model (based on UNeDocs) for electronic documents and document mapping software to improve the pan-European interoperability of taxation and customs systems.

This interoperability is an essential prerequisite to achieve strategic goals for e-customs such as the

introduction of Authorised Economic Operator and Single Window Access service provisioning for businesses.




ITAIDe Objectives

•Standards development for e-customs

•Technical and semantic interoperability for e-customs

•E-customs procedure redesign methodology

•Network collaboration model

•E-customs demonstrators

•Dissemination




ITAIDe - the Benefits

•accuracy and accessibility of business data for customs offices

•efficiency and transparency of procedures and complete supply chains

•pan-European interoperability by simplifying and harmonising procedures

EU contribution 5.8 Million Euros over 4.5 years




Procedure redesign and ‘new’ documents

.. the emphasis up until now has been on replacing each paper document with a corresponding electronic document,

rather than on a fundamental redesign of the system, where the specific administrative document might possibly become redundant altogether.

ITAIDe develops a procedure redesign methodology to improve the efficiency and simplification of e-customs procedures.




Document and Message Standards(Workpackage 1 )

Standard Foundation (Model based)

Canonical model reusing UNeDocs

Linkage with UN/CEFACT, TDED, WCO, eCustoms 2007, UNeDocs

Training on Core Components, CEFACT, UBL, GS1 XML…for the living labs

Interoperability testing

….




Standards to be used:For eForms:

- w3c –XML, XSLT, and FO (Formatting Objects)

For electronic data exchange:

- UN/CEFACT’s Core Components

- The UN/CEFACT Core Component Library

- UN/CEFACT XML NDRs (Naming and Design Rules)

- UN/EDIFACT and UNTDED (ISO 7372)

- WCO (World Customs Organisation) Data model




Three standards to bridge eForms, data models and eDocuments

•An electronic version of the UN Layout Key standard

•A methodology which will enable the individual pieces of data held in an eForm to be linked with the core component data structures of the underlying data model

•A set of naming and design rules which will enable a predictable production of XML from an eForm which is compliant to the UN/CEFACT XML naming and design rules




ITIADe closes a standard gap
