REVIEW OF THE CONSIGNMENT
AND GOODSITEM MAPPING BETWEEN COML & DTTN MODEL

Discussed the COML Consignment
and DTTN ShipmentSummary components. A number of COML’s ABIEs like Remarks,
LoadingPort, DischargePort, OriginCountry, DestinationCountry, SeaTransportIdentification,
AirTransportIdentification, RoadTransportIdentification and RailTransportIdentification
have an equivalent mapping in DTTN model.

 

However, there are no corresponding BIE in COML for several BIEs
in DTTN like EarliestArrivalDate, TransportMode and TranshipmentTransportLocation.
More review needs to be done.

 

In the DTTN model, the TransportMeansIdentification is being
used to identify the transport mean, whereas in COML, explicit BIE has been
created, like SeaTransportIdentification.

 

For AdditionalQualifiedTransportLocation, we may have to go
for the 80/20 rule and review further if this fits into this rule. It was felt
that this could likely be a customization of the base Transport model.

 

There is a need to describe what each BIE represents in the
DTTN model.

 

There is close link between COML’s GoodsItem
and DTTN’s ConsignmentLineItem, e.g.   ConsignmentLineItem's ConsigneLineItemID
is equivalent of GoodsItem's SequenceID and DTTN's CustomsDeclareedValueItem
equivalent to COML's DeclaredCustomsValueItem. SubItem vs ContainedGoodsItem. 

 

COML’s Consignment and GoodsItem
name follows closely with UN/CEFACT TBG17’s component name.

 

OTHER BUSINESS

UBL had sent out a suggestion on DigitalSignature
on UBL list. CrimsonLogic and DTTN has been asked to whether the solution is
satisfactory. 

 

UBL TSC is asked to attend the UBL TC
meeting to report on the progress. The chairperson mentioned that he will make
arrangement for either himself or the TSC editor to join the call to report the
progress.

 

Tim  updated that he will be attending
the next UN/CEFACT Forum meeting to meet up with the management to reach some agreement
on the next step for the UBL transition to UN/CEFACT.
