Documents
The key deliverables of NES are:
  • Profiles describing business processes and scenarios based on a common application of UBL applicable for both domestic and cross border trade. Each profile documents a context specific use of the UBL constrained by business rules and recommendation for the use of the relevant UBL documents. The Profile Definitions are a key normative documentation of NES.
  • Profiled Message Definitions based on a common subset of the UBL XML documents (the NES Document libraries) and common components (the NES Common Libraryexternal link, opens in new window) reflecting the needs expressed in the profiles. The Profiled Message Definitions are a key normative documentation of NES. A document describing the NES Information Model ArchitectuePDF is also available.
  • General guidelines and code lists for the use of UBL within NES. These documents should be considered as a normative part of NES.
  • Validation tools in the form of restricted XML Schema and Schematron files in order to support implementation and run-time validation.
