1. UN/CEFACT UN/CEFACT Forum Workflow ICG/TBG/ATG 2003-03-14

2. UN/CEFACT Repository TBG Harmonisation The existing repositories are used to check existance of basic building blocks Define business requirements Modeller The business analyst identifies a business requirement and proposes a project to the appropiate TBG working group The specification is Harmonised, candidate core components are identified, Requirements Specification Mapping (RSM) developed A project team of business analysts and modellers develop the Business Requirements Specification (BRS) BRMBRM BRSBRS An internal working draft is produced for verification Business Requirements Workflow

3. UN/CEFACT Internal draft BRMBRM BRSBRS TBG ATG For validation OK ATG technically accesses and approves BRS for public review BRSBRS Public review BRS sent out for public review under the ODP process

4. UN/CEFACT ICG TBG Repository Business Requirements Workflow Creation Harmonisation Approval Verify conformity Validate RSM Define business requirements Modeller issues BRS RSM Publish Update repository The compliant BRS and CCs are registered The RSM is validated and may be updated Formal Business requirements specifications and/or candidate core component specifications are approved A TBG leader follows the BRS through the ICG process Repository TBG The specifications are verifed for conformity The Requirements specification and/or core component candidates are validated by the TBG for submission to ICG All registered documents are published in the repository

5. UN/CEFACT ATG BRS RSM ICG Repository Validate RSM Publish Update repository Verify conformity RSM Audit implementations Validate syntax solution Generate Syntax specific core components Generate Syntax specific Business documents Business Requirements Workflow Registered BRS are implemented in required syntax. The RSM is updated as required The syntax solution is audited against the specifications for conformity Newly identified syntax neutral core components in the RSM are transformed into relevant syntaxes Syntax solution For publication The TBG Leader oversees the development of the syntax solution During the implementation process new core component candidates may be identified The syntax solution is validated before submission The ICG transmits the RSM to the ATG for the implementation of a syntax solution The syntax solution is registered and published

6. UN/CEFACT Other Information flows  Core components may be placed in the repository via an RSM after harmonisation and validation.  The TBG may issue maintenance requests on syntax solutions that are directly processed by the ATG and audited by the ICG.  Syntax independent code list modifications are processed by the ICG and are submitted to ODP approval.  A draft of the BRS/RSM template will be available prior to the next Forum meeting.
