UN/CEFACT announces release of Core Components Technical
Specifications
UN/CEFACT Core Components Technical Specifications ready
for production
Geneva, 26 August 2003
The Techniques and Methodologies Group (TMG) of the United Nations Centre
for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business, UN/CEFACT,
which is based in the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE),
announces the final release of its Core Component Technical Specification
(CCTS), Version 2.0, prepared under the UN/CEFACT Open Development Process.
Using the UN/CEFACT Open Development Process, interested
parties from around the world have collaborated in the design and verification
of the Specification through actual implementation. However, one person, Mr.
Michael Adcock of the UK delegation, made a very substantive contribution
of the highest quality. Sadly, Mr. Adcok passed away on 26 May, before the
specification had been verified. In honour of Mike’s contribution to UN/CEFACT
over many years, the members of the core component team and all the officers
of UN/CEFACT dedicate version 2 to his memory.
UN/CEFACT has a global remit and has led the development
of international standards for electronic transactions for government, commerce
and industry. Its experience and ability to bring together world class experts
and match trends in information technology with business requirements, in
an open and transparent way, gives UN/CEFACT a unique viewpoint.
