ISO/IEC 14662:2010 PDF

Overview

ISO/IEC 14662:2010 - Open-edi reference model defines a framework for coordinating the integration of existing international standards and guiding development of future standards that enable Open-edi (open electronic data interchange). The standard provides a reference model describing the relationships between business transaction concerns and information-technology concerns to support interoperable electronic business among Open-edi Parties. It is explicitly a framework and guidance document, not an implementation specification and not a basis for conformance testing.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Two complementary perspectives
  • Business Operational View (BOV): covers business information, conventions, agreements and business rules that govern transactions between parties.
  • Functional Service View (FSV): covers IT capabilities, services, service interfaces and protocols required to support the execution of business transactions.
• Coordination role for standardization: guidance on how to integrate sectoral and generic standards so modelling, descriptive techniques, APIs and protocols are coherent across domains.
• Requirements areas addressed: business organization, business information modelling, business interchange independence from IT, interoperability of interchanges, security, legal aspects and migration strategies.
• Supporting material and methods: annexes present standardization areas, requirements for Open-edi standards, formal description techniques for role behaviour (e.g., state transition, Petri nets, UML), and an approach detailing FSV concepts and implementation considerations.
• Non-normative guidance: examples of Open-edi support entities (role trader, role interpreter) and recommended classification of standards and activities.

Practical applications and who uses this standard

ISO/IEC 14662:2010 is useful for:

• Standards developers creating or harmonizing EDI, electronic business and sectoral standards.
• Solution architects and system integrators designing interoperable Open-edi systems and APIs.
• Enterprise architects and IT managers planning migration, security and legal compliance for electronic business.
• Vendors and software developers aligning products with a coherent model of business and functional services.
• Policy makers and regulators seeking a neutral reference for cross-border and multi-sector electronic commerce frameworks.

Typical uses:

• Framing requirements for new EDI or e‑business standards so they interwork with existing standards.
• Designing service interfaces and message-handling components that map to BOV and FSV concepts.
• Informing legal, security and migration strategies for broad interoperable electronic transactions.

Related standards

ISO/IEC 14662:2010 is intended to coordinate with other international EDI and electronic-business standards (sectoral and technology standards). It should be used alongside relevant domain and technical standards when developing or integrating Open-edi solutions.
