ISO 2014 All rights reserved vBS ISO 15000-5:2014ISO 15000-5:2014(E)Introduction0.1 GeneralThis International Standard describes and specifies a new approach to the well-understood problem of the lack of information interoperability between applicati
21、ons 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. A more flexible and interoperable way of standardizing Business Semantics is required.
22、 The Core Component solution described in this International Standard 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
23、 business vocabularies.0.2 OverviewThe Core Components Specification (CCS) described in this International Standard provides a way to identify, document and maximize the re-use of business information to support and enhance interoperability across Business Processes. CCS focuses both on human-readab
24、le and machine-processable representations of this information.The Core Components approach described in this International Standard is more flexible than current standards in this area because the semantic standardization is done in a syntax-neutral fashion. Using Core Components as part of the ebX
25、ML framework will help to ensure that two trading partners using different syntaxes e.g. Extensible Markup Language (XML) and United Nations/EDI for Administration, Commerce, and Transport (UN/EDIFACT) are using Business Semantics in the same way on condition that both syntaxes have been based on th
26、e same Core Components. This enables clean mapping between disparate message definitions across syntaxes, industry and regional boundaries.Business Process and Core Component solutions capture a wealth of information about the business reasons for variation in message semantics and structure. In the
27、 past, these variations have led to incompatible data models and a subsequent lack of interoperability. The core components mechanism will allow identification of similarities and differences between these models. Incompatibility becomes incremental rather than wholesale, i.e. the detailed points of
28、 difference are noted, rather than a whole model being dismissed as incompatible.0.3 Key ConceptsThe CCS key concepts are based two levels of abstraction: Core Components and Business Information Entities. These focus areas are discussed in Clauses 4 and 5: in each case, the concepts are introduced
29、and a normative definition is given, as well as an example, where appropriate.NOTE The term Core Component is used as a generic term that encompasses Basic Core Components, Association Core Components, Aggregate Core Components, and their associated Core Component Types. Equally, the term Business I
30、nformation Entity is used as a generic term encompassing Basic Business Information Entities, Association Business Information Entities, and Aggregate Business Information Entities.0.4 Key Core Component ConceptsThe central concept of this International Standard is the Core Component. The Core Compo
31、nent is a semantic building block, which is used as a basis to construct all electronic business messages.There are four different categories of Core Components: a) Basic Core Component;b) Association Core Component;c) Core Component Type;d) Aggregate Core Component.vi ISO 2014 All rights reservedBS
32、 ISO 15000-5:2014ISO 15000-5:2014(E)These concepts are described below and their definitions are given in Clause 3.PartyName (Text)Role (Code)Description (Text)ContactType (Code)Job Title (Text)Primary (Indicator)Deg976inedAddressStreet Name (Text)Free Form (Text)Postcode (Text)Country (Identig976ie
33、r)PostalFigure 1 Association Core ComponentFigure 1 is an example of an Association Core Component and shows the following: three Aggregate Core Components: “Party. Details”; “Contact. Details” and “Address. Details”; each Aggregate Core Component has a number of Properties (i.e. business characteri
34、stics); the Aggregate Core Component “Party. Details” has five Properties (“Name”, “Role”, “Description”, “Defined. Contact” and “Postal. Address”); the Aggregate Core Component “Contact. Details” has three Properties (“Type”, “Job Title” and “Primary”); the Aggregate Core Component “Address. Detail
35、s” has four Properties (“Street Name”, “Free Form”, “Postcode” and “Country”).Ten of these Properties are Basic Core Components. They each represent a singular business characteristic and its set of allowed values is defined by a Data Type.In the above example: “Name”, “Description”, “Job Title”, “S
36、treet Name”, “Free Form” and “Postcode” are of the Data Type Text; “Role” and “Type” are of the Data Type Code; “Primary” is of the Data Type Indicator; “Country” is of the Data Type Identifier. ISO 2014 All rights reserved viiBS ISO 15000-5:2014ISO 15000-5:2014(E)The other two Properties are Associ
37、ation Core Components. They each represent a set of complex business characteristics and in each case their structure is defined by another associated Aggregate Core Component. In the above example, “Party. Defined. Contact” and “Party. Postal. Address” are both Association Core Components. The stru
38、ctures of these associated Aggregate Core Components are defined by the Aggregate Core Components “Contact. Details” and “Address. Details”, respectively.Core Components (and Business Information Entities) have Properties that are defined by Data Types.A Data Type represents the full range of values
39、 to be used for the representation of a particular Core Component Property. A Data Type is based on one of the Core Component Types, but can include restrictions of the set of values of the Content Component and/or Supplementary Component(s) of that Core Component Type.The diagram in Figure 2 shows
40、the relationships between the various Core Component elements.Figure 2 Core Component Overview0.5 Key Business Information Entity ConceptsThe key differentiator between Core Components and Business Information Entities is the concept of Business Context. Business context is a mechanism for refining
41、the semantic meaning of components according to the specific requirements of their context of use. Once Business Contexts are identified, Core Components can be designed to take into account any necessary qualification and refinement needed to support the use of their Core Component in the given Bus
42、iness Context. The Business Process definition provides a high level description of the use of a message and its contents.When a Core Component is used in a real business circumstance it serves as the basis of a Business Information Entity. The Business Information Entity is the result of using a Co
43、re Component within a specific Business Context.viii ISO 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO 15000-5:2014ISO 15000-5:2014(E)A specific relationship exists between Core Components and Business Information Entities. Core Components and Business Information Entities are complementary in many respects. Core
44、Components are intended to be the linchpin for creating interoperable Business Process models and business documents using a Controlled Vocabulary.An Aggregate Business Information Entity is a piece of business data or a group of pieces of business data with a unique Business Semantic definition in
45、a specific Business Context.There are three different categories of Business Information Entities:a) Basic Business Information Entity;b) Association Business Information Entity;c) Aggregate Business Information Entity.The most primitive of these is the Basic Business Information Entity. A Basic Bus
46、iness Information Entity is a Basic Core Component used in a specific Business Context.Whenever a Property of an Aggregate Business Information Entity is of a complex nature, and has the structure of another Aggregate Business Information Entity, an Association Business Information Entity is used to
47、 represent that Property. An Association Business Information Entity is based on an Association Core Component, but exists in a Business Context.Trade_ PartyName (Text)Role (Code)Responsible_ ContactType (Code)Job Title (Text)Deg976inedStructured_ AddressPostcode (Text)Country (Identig976ier)PostalF
