CEN ISSS WS BII
Workshop on 'Business Interoperability Interfaces on public procurement in Europe' - WS/BII
What is a CEN ISSS Workshop
CEN ISSS Workshop is the working place which provides market players with a comprehensive and integrated range of standardization services and products, in order to contribute to the success of the Information Society in Europe.
ISSS (Information Society Standardization System) provides a middle way, an open process combining the tried and tested backing of the formal standardization environment with a fast, market-driven approach. CEN/ISSS draws on the best of both worlds, bridging the gap between formal and informal standardization, combining the rapid process of informal specification with the security offered by the formal open consensus of traditional standardization.
In addition to formal CEN Technical Committees, CEN/ISSS provides a less formal environment through CEN/ISSS Workshops. These offer the opportunity for direct participation in the standardization process. They are ongoing working groups that are open to all interested parties, including vendors, service providers, regulators, users and consumer groups.
CEN/ISSS Workshops aim to arrive at a European consensus on an issue that can be published as a CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA). These deliverables may take the form of best practice agreements, codes of conduct or pre-standards, with the formal backing of CEN, one of the three European Standardization Organizations.
Background
The objectives of the Workshop are to provide a basic framework for technical interoperability in pan-European electronic transactions, expressed as a set of technical specifications that cross-refer to relevant activities, and in particular are compatible with UN/CEFACT in order to ensure global interoperability. The Workshop will be focused on implementation facilitations and co-ordinating pilots implementing the technical specifications output. The requirements and final specifications will be input into UN/CEFACT.
The starting point for the Workshop is the NES and CODICE customizations of OASIS Universal Business Language 2.0.
