6、s operators, i.e., network operators or service providers. The orders contain data for designations of interconnections and other information about services and network resources that are required to be communicated between operators. This Recommendation provides a skeleton that can be extended with

7、 any contents and allow for any use of the orders. This Recommendation is developed in order to facilitate computerized interoperation between telecommunication operators. As the data defined in this Recommendation are designed for human usage, they are independent of the functions in which they are

8、 used. Hence, the data may be applied in any functions, e.g., in customer requests, call centres, billing, service platforms, etc. Source ITU-T Recommendation M.1403 was approved on 6 August 2007 by ITU-T Study Group 4 (2005-2008) under the ITU-T Recommendation A.8 procedure.

M.1403 (08/2007) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and commu

10、nication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. Th

11、e World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution

12、1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a

13、recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure e.g. interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. Th

14、e words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility

15、 that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recomme

16、ndation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information a

17、nd are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database at http:/www.itu.int/ITU-T/ipr/. ITU 2008 All rights reserved.

M.1403 (08/2007) Introduction This Recommendation defines order designations and additional information intended primarily for human-to-human communication between various operators, i.e., network operators or service providers within the context

20、 of an external terminology schema in end user terminology. This Recommendation on generic orders provides common terms for any order, e.g., network orders and service orders. The area of interest is the communication of orders between operators about network interconnections and telecommunication s

21、ervices. The objects of communication are telecommunication services and network resources. This Recommendation focuses on human needs for stable and recognizable data formats independently of the media they are communicated over. Therefore, in order to support the human-to-human communication, the

22、formats defined in this Recommendation are required to be provided at the corresponding human-to-computer interfaces, as well. Hence, this Recommendation defines the formats of data at human-to-computer interfaces, but does not define the data communication formats for interfaces between computer sy

23、stems, such as at the TMN X interface or non-TMN computer interfaces. However, it must be possible to automatically map the human-to-computer formats to the computer-to-computer formats and vice versa. The details of this mapping are for further study. Use of this Recommendation inside national juri

24、sdictions will be the result of bilateral negotiation between the operators and/or national regulatory activity. Although compliance with all ITU-T Recommendations is voluntary, special mention is made for ITU-T Rec. M.1403 due to the sensitivity of designations for interconnection from a regulatory

25、 and legal standpoint. This extension greatly increases the number of routes and nodes to be identified, and in this way extends the name spaces to be provided. This Recommendation defines orders and additional information to be exchanged between two operators. While it defines order and message ide

26、ntification, it does not define data on the status or processing of these orders or messages. In that regard, this Recommendation can be considered as an adaptation or extension of ICT industry standards, e.g., OASIS UBL. ICT industry standards for such data may impose additional requirements on hum

27、an-to-computer interfaces. The definition of information is common for the functions it supports. This Recommendation aims at supporting communication among service providers and network operators, but may also support communication between brokers, retailers, customers and installation providers. T

28、his Recommendation aims at defining designations of orders and additional information for service personnel, technicians and file support personnel at their terminals supporting the services and network, and serves as design information for developers of operational support systems. In addition to t

29、he definition of orders and messages in the main body of this Recommendation, Appendix I provides an explanation of the contents of messages. Appendix II presents order information in context of Ogdens triangle and discusses simplified designs. ITU-T Rec. M.1403 (08/2007) 1 ITU-T Recommendation M.14

30、03 Formalization of generic orders 1 Scope The area of interest is the communication of orders between operators about telecommunication services and network interconnections. The contents of the orders are defined in other Recommendations. The focus of this Recommendation is on end user terminology

31、 as defined in an external terminology schema and which puts requirements on other schemata and implementations. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation. At the time o

32、f publication, the editions indicated were valid.

44、An Order identifies a transaction relative to an organization, a part of an organization or a collaboration of organizations. This organization is typically an Operator, but may involve Customers, installation companies, etc. An Order comprises a set of Messages that are linked via the common Order.

45、 An Order can be of one or several types, like customer order, installation order, activation order, billing order or other. This is prescribed by the Type of each Message contained in the Order. 4 ITU-T Rec. M.1403 (08/2007) Number The Order Number uniquely identifies the Order within an Operator.

46、The Order Number is used to retrieve and follow up information on events that are described in the Message instances. Assignment of Order Numbers and management of order series are outside the scope of this Recommendation. The same Order Number may be used for a Request, Work order, etc., but differ

47、ent Numbers that are related by Derived orders may be used, as well. The Derived order may belong to another Operator. Derived order An Order may have several subordinate Derived orders, which each is a role of another Order. Dependent on the current Order, Derived orders may be generated automatica

48、lly. For example, the current Order may be a customer order/order request, while the Derived order may be an installation order. Served order An Order may have several subordinate Served orders, which each is a role of another Order. The current Order may be a construction order, which must be execu

49、ted before several installation orders can be executed. Message A Message is a statement or a compound set of statements. A statement is the carrier of information between people and between systems. Message type A message instance is of a message type. A message type provides a template for a message instance. Many message instances can refer to the same message class by the S(chema reference), and message classes can refer to other message classes recursively. The message type contains al
