Overview

WG 3 was disbanded at the 33rd plenary (P33, resolution 06-2014, 2014-10-24) after ISO/TS 15000-5 was published as an International Standard in April 2014. The convenor, Mary Kay Blantz, was thanked for her leadership in completing the work.

Established in March 2006 from the former “CCTS” ad-hoc group, WG 3 maintained ISO/TS 15000-5 “Core Components Technical Specification” in liaison with OASIS and UN/CEFACT.

ISO TS 15000-5 (ebXML Core Components Technical Specification, Version 2.01 (ebCCTS))

Background

ISO TS 15000-5 was first published in 2005, based on the UN/CEFACT publication of the Core Component Technical Specification 2.01. In 2008 it was reviewed and confirmed by ISO/TC 154 for continued publication. In 2011, ISO published Amendment 1 to ISO TS 15000-5, based on corrigendum published by UN/CEFACT.

During the ISO/TC 154 Plenary held in Geneva in September 2010 a small team was tasked with developing this position paper on the future of ISO 15000-5, based on a recommendation from the UK HoD that the TS be made an International Standard.

The secretariat is held by Bernd Bösler (DE/DIN), the convenorship by Mary Kay Blantz (UNECE).

    • Remove references no longer applicable, such as to UN/CEFACT, where appropriate

    • Remove the constraint language chapter

    • Update or remove the data types
