CENWS/BIIVision and mission

The vision of the BII Workshop is that all organizations – independent of whether they are public or private and whatever their size and nationality - are enabled to conduct electronic business in an effective and efficient manner, significantly lowering costs for transaction processing.

The CEN WS/BII Workshop mission is to spread and facilitate the use of e-procurement standards by suppliers and buyers, and especially public administrations, by: identifying requirements (including legal) regarding e-procurement standards; providing a general framework for the organizational and semantic levels of

interoperability for the electronic procurement documents; supporting the implementation of commonly applied international e-

procurement standards; providing organizational support to ensure the governance and maintenance

for those requirements.

CENWS/BIIScope of work

The scope of work for the workshopcontinues to be on achieving interoperability along whole procurement process, with a B2G perspective, including where possible also a B2B perspective (which in the post-award is very close to B2G perspective).

CENWS/BIIOur approach

A Profile is a technical specification describing:

the choreography of the business process(es) covered,

the electronic business transactions exchanged as part of the business process,

the business rules governing the execution of that business process(es), its business collaborations and business transactions, as well as any constraints on information elements used

the information content of the electronic business transactions exchanged documented in the form of transaction Information Requirement Models.

CENWS/BIICore information requirements

BII is defining core information requirement models the set of information elements sufficient to cater for the

generally expressed business requirements applicable throughout the European market.

BII specifications can be implemented as is, but may also be further customized for community use.

CENWS/BIIWhat’s in the future?

Continue the work initiated by CEN WS/BII, and further refined under CEN WS/BII 2, to support interoperability in electronic procurement and business.

Provide increased value to the BII user community by1. Filling the gaps to ensure that all

relevant aspects of e-procurement are covered
