Reference Data Model Guideline

The advantage of the RDM approach is that an RDM draws on the overall available Aggregate Business Information Entities (ABIEs) within the UN/CEFACT Core Component Library (CCL), creating a complete and focused subset specific to the needs of a segment, examples being the UN/CEFACT Supply Chain RDM (SCRDM) covering the contract for the supply of the goods, and the UN/CEFACT Multi Modal Transport RDM (MMT RDM1) covering the contract for the supply of transport and related services.
