CCTS - Part 1: CCTS - Core Components Technical Specification
Part 1 of Core Component Technical Specification (CCTS)
The Core Components Technical Specification (CCTS) describes and specifies a new approach to the well-understood problem of the lack of information interoperability between applications in the e-business arena. Traditionally, standards for the exchange of business data have been focused on static message definitions that have not enabled a sufficient degree of interoperability or flexibility. The CCTS presents a methodology for developing a common set of semantic building blocks that represent the general types of business data in use today and provides for the creation of new business vocabularies and restructuring of existing business vocabularies. Further information can be found in the project area.
CCTS - Part 2: CCMA - Core Components Message Assembly
Part 2 of Core Component Technical Specification (CCTS)
The specification will provide a specific methodology for assembling higher level Business Information Entities for electronic messages in a semantic and reusable order, but messages which are not electronic may eventually be built from this specification. This methodology also includes the definition of templates for similar structuring of all types of business messages. This is one of the key features for high reusability of business messages and getting a common understanding of business messages on a semantic level.
The technical specification will focus on the business section of a message, and will not include any enveloping needed to transmit this information. It will include models as appropriate and will fit into the same architecture as UN/CEFACT Business Process specifications. The business message will be a Business Information Entity (BIE) which is based on an appropriate business message template and no corresponding Aggregate Core Component (ACC) will be required.
CCMA Guide
A guide has been developed and published to help user transition to working with CCMA.
CCTS - Part3: UPCC - UML Profile for Core Components
Part 3 of Core Component Technical Specification (CCTS)
Accordingly the UPCC specification will be written as a UML and XMI profiles that is implementable by the widest spectrum of UML tool vendors. UPCC has two main tasks in scope:
- Model Validation - To define a standard mechanism to validate the syntax and semantics of UMM models during model development. This provides a means for business analysts to create CCTS compliant UML based models.
- Model Interchange - To define a standard serialization format for CCTS models that can be used both for model interchange between modeling tools and also as an intermediate format for the generation of deployment schema such as XMLNDR for CCTS.
UCM - Unified Context Methodology
The purpose of the Unified Context Methodology (UCM) Project is to develop a unified methodology and technical specification for developing, registering, and using context drivers as part and for the application of a number of UN/CEFACT standard artefacts, such as Business Data Type, Business Information Entity, Business Message, Business Area, Business Process Models etc. This project will start from the current context mechanism described in the Core Components Technical Specification (CCTS).
