Cross Industry Catalogue Information Process RSM

The objective of this specification is to describe the business processes, the business documents and the information entities for the exchange of catalogue information, including price information, used by different industries in supporting the supply chain. The business process is the detailed description of the way trading partners intend to play their respective roles, establish business relations and share responsibilities to interact efficiently with the support of their respective information systems. The collaborative business processes involved in the catalogue process are made up by five business transactions. Each business transaction is realised by an exchange of business information (documents and messages). The sequence in which these transactions are used, represent particular scenarios and are presented as activity diagrams in this document. The information exchanged in the business documents/messages are presented in lists of business entities and their attributes.
