scope:

This International Standard can be employed wherever business information is being shared or exchanged amongst and between enterprises, governmental agencies, and/or other organisations in an open and worldwide environment. The Core Components User Community consists of business and governmental users, business document modellers and business data modellers, Business Process modellers, and application developers of different organisations that require interoperability of business information. This interoperability covers both interactive and batch exchanges of business data between applications through the use of Internet and Web based information exchanges as well as traditional Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) systems.

This International Standard will form the basis for standards development work of business analysts, business users and information technology specialists supplying the content for applications that will employ a Core Component Library (CCL).
