UN/CEFACT STEERING GROUP RESOLUTION
ON THE USE OF BUSINESS AND INFORMATION MODELING
The UN/CEFACT Steering Group (CSG) resolves that business and Information
modeling is an essential requirement to the future of UN/EDIFACT and that
the implementation of business and information modeling is a critical objective
of the CEFACT strategy and its attendant work programme. Accordingly, the
CSG further resolves that all new United Nations Standard Messages (UNSMs)
submitted as a Message in Development (MiD) shall utilize modeling as a
condition of submission and approval commencing at a date to be jointly
agreed by the CSG and the UN/EDIFACT Working Group (EWG).
In support of this resolution, the CSG requests that the EWG, after
considering an analysis and impact study provided by the Techniques &
Methodologies Working Group (TMWG), submit their comments, and in consultation
with TMWG, a proposed target commencement date to the CSG not later than
June 1, 1998.
