The responsible G
8、erman body involved in its preparation was the DIN-Normenausschuss Informationstechnik und Anwendungen (DIN Standards Committee Information Technology and selected IT Applications), Working Committee NA 043-03-03 AA Elek-tronisches Geschftswesen. The text of ISO 15000-5 has been adopted without any
9、modification. In translating the text into German particular attention was paid to the use of a correct and consistent technical terminology in German. However, the English abbreviations were taken over for the purposes of compatibility and to facilitate comparison with the original English text. Th
10、e full English term is given for each term in Clause 3 “Terms and definitions”. English text in the figures has been taken over because a translation into German was considered to be unnecessary and the target group of IT specialists normally has sufficient knowledge of English to understand these t

19、uction0.1 GeneralThis International Standard 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
20、definitions that have not enabled a sufficient degree of interoperability or flexibility. A more flexible and interoperable way of standardizing Business Semantics is required. The Core Component solution described in this International Standard presents a methodology for developing a common set of
21、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.0.2 OverviewThe Core Components Specification (CCS) described in this International Standard provides
22、 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-readable and machine-processable representations of this information.The Core Components approach described in this International
23、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 ebXML framework will help to ensure that two trading partners using different syntaxes e.g. Extensible Markup Language (XML) an
24、d 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 the same Core Components. This enables clean mapping between disparate message definitions across syntaxes, industry and regio
25、nal 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 past, these variations have led to incompatible data models and a subsequent lack of interoperability. The core components
26、mechanism will allow identification of similarities and differences between these models. Incompatibility becomes incremental rather than wholesale, i.e. the detailed points of difference are noted, rather than a whole model being dismissed as incompatible.0.3 Key ConceptsThe CCS key concepts are ba
27、sed 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 and a normative definition is given, as well as an example, where appropriate.NOTE The term Core Component is used as a gene
28、ric term that encompasses Basic Core Components, Association Core Components, Aggregate Core Components, and their associated Core Component Types. Equally, the term Business Information Entity is used as a generic term encompassing Basic Business Information Entities, Association Business Informati
29、on Entities, and Aggregate Business Information Entities.0.4 Key Core Component ConceptsThe central concept of this International Standard is the Core Component. The Core Component is a semantic building block, which is used as a basis to construct all electronic business messages.There are four dif
30、ferent categories of Core Components: a) Basic Core Component;b) Association Core Component;c) Core Component Type;d) Aggregate Core Component.5DIN ISO 15000-5:2014-10These concepts are described below and their definitions are given in Clause 3.PartyName (Text)Role (Code)Description (Text)ContactTy

Deta
32、ils”; “Contact. Details” and “Address. Details”; each Aggregate Core Component has a number of Properties (i.e. business characteristics); the Aggregate Core Component “Party. Details” has five Properties (“Name”, “Role”, “Description”, “Defined. Contact” and “Postal. Address”); the Aggregate Core C
33、omponent “Contact. Details” has three Properties (“Type”, “Job Title” and “Primary”); the Aggregate Core Component “Address. Details” has four Properties (“Street Name”, “Free Form”, “Postcode” and “Country”).Ten of these Properties are Basic Core Components. They each represent a singular business
34、characteristic and its set of allowed values is defined by a Data Type.In the above example: “Name”, “Description”, “Job Title”, “Street 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
35、the Data Type Identifier.6DIN ISO 15000-5:2014-10The other two Properties are Association 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.
36、Contact” and “Party. Postal. Address” are both Association Core Components. The structures 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 Prope
37、rties that are defined by Data Types.A Data Type represents the full range of values 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 S
38、upplementary Component(s) of that Core Component Type.The diagram in Figure 2 shows 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 Entiti
39、es is the concept of Business Context. Business context is a mechanism for refining 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 qualificati
40、on and refinement needed to support the use of their Core Component in the given Business 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 Busi
41、ness Information Entity. The Business Information Entity is the result of using a Core Component within a specific Business Context.7DIN ISO 15000-5:2014-10A specific relationship exists between Core Components and Business Information Entities. Core Components and Business Information Entities are
42、complementary in many respects. Core 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 un
43、ique Business Semantic definition in 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 Bus
44、iness Information Entity. A Basic Business 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 B
45、usiness Information Entity is used to 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
