Introduction
This document
The aim of this document is to offer a guideline of the updated Reference Architecture (RA) for the eBusiness harmonisation in the Textile Clothing and Footwear sectors as it results from the activities of the CEN Workshop "eBusiness in the textile, clothing and footwear sectors (WS eBIZ)".
The document does not contain all the technical specifications necessary to support eBusiness in the TCF industry; sometimes these specifications are developed and owned by third parties and, more in general, their development and maintenance is still an open issue, or, probably, a never ending process.
The document offers a guideline for a reference framework of existing specifications and initiatives that enable the design of eBusiness experiences; a strong focus is on the reference scenarios and on some general requirements but the technical specification are referenced from their sources so that it is easy to retry all that is necessary in order to design harmonised eBusiness solutions. Only in few cases the RA provides technical specifications in form of Use Profiles or representations of business scenarios.
The first version of the Reference Architecture was developed in 2009 in the framework of the eBIZ-TCF project (www.eBIZ-TCF.eu), a DG Enterprise and Industry initiative that is an European large scale attempt to foster the adoption of eBusiness and related technologies and standards in sectors characterised by a large presence of SMEs and by low levels of adoption of eBusiness and interoperability standards.
The CEN Workshop on eBusiness in the textile, clothing and footwear sectors (WS/eBIZ) has reviewed and updated the RA in order to satisfy new requirements and progresses in the real textile, clothing and footwear (TCF) industry.
This document is the FINAL version delivered as CWA by the CEN Workshop on eBusiness in the textile, clothing and footwear sectors (WS/eBIZ) in the framework of the activities of the Task 2 ("upgrade of the Reference Architecture").
This document is available from the eBIZ web site (www.ebiz-tcf.eu) together with other resources that should help the designers and implementers in their work.
