Core Components Specifications Project Proposal

1. Objectives
   
   1.1 Purpose
   The purpose of the project is to produce Core Components Technical Specification(s) and supporting documents, based on ebXML Core Components Technical Reports.
   
   1.2 Scope
   Electronic Business activities related to ebXML within the mission and objectives of UN/CEFACT and its working groups.
   
   
2. Deliverables
   The project deliverables are:
   • A consolidated ebXML Core Components Technical Specification that incorporates the material in the ebXML Discovery and Analysis, Naming Convention, and Context technical reports and adds material related to Metadata Definition.
   • Specification for and the beginning lexicon of core components.
   
   
3. Functional Expertise of Membership
   The core components project team is a group of experts with broad knowledge in the area of Electronic Business (ebXML, UN/EDIFACT, and national EDI/eBusiness), ebXML Core Components, and technical specification development.
   
   UN/CEFACT head of delegation (HOD) may designate one or more experts to the project team. In doing so, they may delegate this task to one or more organizations, which may be national, regional or international. Experts are expected to contribute to the work based solely on their expertise.
   
   
4. Geographical Focus
   The focus is global.
