Como ya indiqué. ayer se celebró la sección «Simposium» del Congreso Internacional «UBL Conference 2008», en conjunción con ebXML de OASIS. Ken Holman y Tim McGrath continuan impartiendo formación sobre Documentos electrónicos y UBL a lo largo de la semana, en Roma.
Fueron ponencias extremadamente interesantes que demuestran la adopción del ebMXL y del UBL en Europa, y se desarrollaron en un marco incomparable, como se puede ver en las fotos que incluyo al final.
| 8:00 | Coffee & Registration |
| 8:45 | WELCOMING REMARKS |
| 9:00 | ebXML IN 2008: OVERVIEW AND STATUS Pim van der Eijk The OASIS ebXML standards provide mature specifications for messaging, collaboration agreements, registry and business process. In the past seven years, these standards have been adopted in industry sectors and in the public sector, in Europe and internationally. More recently, ebXML has evolved with newer versions of the specifications that converge with recent Web Services specifications and offer better support for small and medium size organizations. This presentation will give an overview of the core ebXML specifications, using the UBL 2.0 standard and NES profiles as case study. The presentation will also present some case studies of large scale deployments of ebXML. |
| 9:30 | THE EXPERIENCE OF ENEA ABOUT THE ADOPTION OF EBXML AND UBL IN ITALY Piero De Sabbata, Cristiano Novelli, Arianna Brutti (ENEA)ENEA X-Lab is a structure dedicated to the technologies for interoperability and enterprise networking and to their transfer and adoption in the industry sectors (including the textile/clothing industry), with a focus on standards and on small and medium size enterprises (SMEs). X-Lab has participated in the creation of B2B standards and is promoting their adoption in Italy and by Italian software companies. X-Lab is also fostering the adoption of UBL and ebXML towards the networks of enterprises and their technology suppliers. In a series of projects (Moda-ML, Leapfrog IP and TRAME), the X-Lab has developed prototypes to create ebXML business process descriptions, to edit CPPs and CPAs based on templates and to compose a CPA from two CPPs. X-Lab is also testing an implementation of the light Message Service Handler (MSH) supporting ebMS v3.0 and CPA v3.X.The presentation will give an overview of these activities and of related work on UBL adoption via the UBL Italian localization subcommittee and other projects in which X-Lab is involved. |
| 10:00 | Coffee Break |
| 10:30 | DATA MODELLING AND ebXML FOR FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN TRACEABILITY Alessio Bechini (University of Pisa)In the food industry, the requirement of traceability (tracking/tracing) of food needs standardized exchange of information in a large and dynamic community of food suppliers, producers, processors and distributors. This presentation refers to a specific data model to support supply chain traceability. It also shows how, upon a proper modeling process of the overall supply chain, ebXML can be proficiently used to cope with business interoperability issues in the context of traceability information systems. In particular, exchange of traceability information can proficiently exploit the ebXML messaging system. |
| 11:00 | ebXML MESSAGING VERSION 3.0: OVERVIEW AND DEMONSTRATION Ric Emery and Dale Moberg, Axway ebMS version 3.0 provides new user-requested features and realigns ebMS with several recently approved WS-* security and reliability standards. Additional work in ebCPPA will be completed in the ebCore group to enable both ebBP 2.0 and CPPA 3.0 for use with ebMS version 3.0 (and with other messaging protocols). A demo is planned that will feature some of the new functionality. |
| 12:00 | Break for Lunch |
| 14:00-18:00 | UBL International Presentations |
| 14:00-14:35 | Introduction to the OASIS Universal Business Language (G. Ken Holman, Crane Softwrights Ltd., Canada). This is an introduction to and technical overview of the OASIS Universal Business Language (UBL) 2.0 project and specification. |
| 14:35-15:10 | Electronic Invoicing: The challenge of evolution (Pieter Breyne and Joao Frade, Price Waterhouse Coopers, Belgium) PwC presents the case story of the ongoing e-Invoicing and e-Ordering project at the European Commission: IDABC project for public procurement. This presentation will elaborate on the benefits of e-Invoicing and how NES and UBL 2.0 are used in the business and technical architecture of an e-Invoicing and e-Ordering pilot system. |
| 15:10-15:45 | Electronic Invoice with UBL and DB2 Pure XML (Gianfranco Cesareo, IBM, Italy) The presentation is focused on the capabilities of DB2 hybrid database to manage electronic invoice in UBL 2.0. A brief demo will also be provided. It will start showing the possibility of entering the Invoice using XFORMS, then the XFORMS will be loaded into a UBL format in DB2 pure XML. The same invoice will then be retrieved from DB2 pure XML and presented via the official stylesheet |
| 15:45-16:15 | Break |
| 16:15-16:50 | UBL 2.0 Invoice insights (Roberto Cisternino, Javest, Italy) Two commercial invoices will be analyzed to show how real data fits into the UBL 2.0 Invoice for both products and services. The presentation will not cover completely legal aspects especially those related to cross-border invoicing in Europe, however the UBL versatility will be emphasized especially where code lists are exploited to leverage interoperability. |
| 16:50-17:25 | UBL in Pan European Public Procurement (Mikkel Hippe Brun, National IT and Telecom Agency, Denmark) UBL is a key ingredient in a new EU project under the Competitiveness Innovation Program. A consortium consisting of public authorities from 8 member states and Norway are behind the 20 million euros PEPPOL project (Pan European Public Procurement Online). The purpose of the project is to establish an eBusiness framework for exchanging electronic catalogues, orders, invoices and company dossiers. |
| 17:25-18:00 | UBL and UN/CEFACT – The way ahead (Tim McGrath, Document Engineering Services, Australia) |
| 18:00 | Farewell |
