Cross-Border Management RDM -  final draft after public review
Approved: UN/CEFACT Bureau decision 2111047 on  17 November 2021  Version: 0.5

The UN/CEFACT Reference Data Models (RDMs) provide a comprehensive subset of the UN/CCL and Code Lists. Many Agencies use data which originate in the Buy-Ship-Pay Reference Data Model (BSP RDM) which is the overarching data model for the

• Supply Chain Management (SCRDM), and
• Multimodal Transport (MMT RDM).

The project aims to provide a Regulatory Reference Data Model within the UN/CEFACT semantic library in order to assist authorities to link this information to the standards of other organizations.

The objective of this high-level BRS is to describe the requirements for a generic reference data model supporting the trade and transport-related processes involved in the cross-border supply chain and covering at a high-level the involved business area, the main parties and the information involved.

To this end, the CBM RDM will (a) link the BSP RDM, SC RDM and MMT RDM with existing customs standards based on the developing (EUCDM) standard, sharing base of components the UN Core Component Library (UN CCL), and (b) create a subset of the UN CCL showing the shared aspects between the international supply chain and transport-logistics chains and the agency driven data models (EUCDM).

This BRS, provides the framework for cross-border transport-related business and government domains to specify their own specific information exchange requirements whilst complying with the overall processes and data structures.
