30-day Public Review for Business Document Envelope V1.0 from #BDXR TC – ends April 25th

The OASIS Business Document Exchange (BDXR) TC [1] members have recently approved a Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted it for 30-day public review:

Business Document Envelope Version 1.0
Committee Specification Draft 01 / Public Review Draft 01
04 March 2015

Overview:

The Business Document Envelope (BDE) specification defines a business-oriented artefact enveloping a payload of one or more business documents or other artefacts with supplemental semantic information about the collection of payloads as a whole. This is distinct from any transport-layer infrastructure envelope that may be required to propagate documents from one system to another.

A business document envelope describes contextual information important to the sender and receiver about the payloads, without having to modify the payloads in any fashion.

TC Description:

The OASIS BDXR TC advances an open standards framework to support public e-procurement and e-invoicing. The group defines specifications for a lightweight and federated messaging infrastructure that supports a 4-corner model for the secure and reliable exchange of electronic documents.

Wherever possible, the TC specifications are based on profiles of existing standards from OASIS and elsewhere. BDXR TC members also coordinate the submission of new requirements as use cases for expanded functionality.

Public Review Period:

The public review starts 27 March 2015 at 00:00 UTC and ends 25 April 2015 at 23:59 UTC.

This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback from potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work.
