1. Preamble
The current practice of exchanging business documents by means of telecommunications – usually
defined as e-Business – presents a major opportunity to improve the competitiveness of companies,
especially for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME).
The catalogue is an important document exchanged between trading partners, it marks the start of the
trading cycle.
Started as an initiative by CEN/ISSS Workshop eBES, the European Expert Group 1 (EEG1) – Supply
Chain & e-Procurement – developed the Cross Industry Catalogue in 2005/2006. The Cross Industry
Catalogue has been compiled by a working group with contributions from BME (German Association
Materials Management, Purchasing and Logistics), BLI at the University of Duisburg-Essen,
Fernuniversität Hagen, PIDX, OASIS/UBL, CRITT Informatique, SupplyChange, Healthlogistics,
Eurofer, CEN/ISSS WS E-Catalogue. Paradigma Unternehmensberatung Gmbh, EPDC, ISO TC184
SC4 and VWR, GS1, the Danish government and Swedish Local authorities and regions.
The document describe globally consistent catalogue information exchange processes for worldwide
supply chains and e-Procurement of commodities, using the UN/CEFACT Modelling Methodology
(UMM) approach and Unified Modelling Language to describe the business processes and business
documents involved.
The structure of this document is based on the structure of the UN/CEFACT Business Requirements
Specification (BRS) document reference CEFACT/ICG/005.

3. Objective
The objective of this specification is to describe the business processes, the business documents and
the information entities for the exchange of catalogue information, including price information, used by
industries for the supply chain.
The business process is the detailed description of the way trading partners intend to play their
respective roles, establish business relations and share responsibilities to interact efficiently with the
support of their respective information systems.
The collaborative business processes involved in the catalogue process are made up by five business
transactions.
Each business transaction is realised by an exchange of business information (documents and
messages). The sequence in which these transactions are used, represent particular scenarios and
are presented as activity diagrams in this document.
The information exchanged in the business documents/messages are presented in lists of business
entities and their attributes.

3.1. Scope
This section describes the extent and limits of the business processes within the supply chain being
described in this document. Each industry may specify, based on the BRS of the cross industry
catalogue processes, its industry specific use of the catalogue message and the business processes.
It also allows for industry specific functionality on details to describe a specific product.
Name/Value pairs in the catalogue documents allows the Catalogue Provider to add attributes to
further specify their products in the existing structure. If further elaboration is needed an industry
specific ontology can be made. Industry specific ontology is outside the scope of this BRS.
The catalogue processes are used to offer goods or services by the Supplier to potential Customers
and give basic information needed for ordering those goods or services. A catalogue will contain
information on the products being offered and may contain price information, terms of trade and other
commercial information.
The processes cover:
 Exchange of multi language catalogues
 Exchange of catalogue being a full catalogue or part of a catalogue in relation to updates
 Exchange of multi Supplier catalogues or parts of multi Suppliers catalogues in relation to
updates
 Customer specific catalogue items and prices, including contract prices
This document describes the processes involved in the exchange of catalogue data and how to
structure the information in electronic catalogues, so they can be sent to customers and potential
customers, in whole or part, and be the basis for the ordering of the goods or services defined in those
catalogues. Customers may ask for catalogue data ad hoc, or they may subscribe to the catalogue
process and receive all or parts of the catalogue data.

3.2. Context Categories

The following table lists the context categories according to the Core Components Technical
Specification and their values for the catalogue processes.
The Business Process Roles in the table represent the Business Partner Types (Party Types) of the
senders and receivers of the information flows that make up the Provide Catalogue process. The
Supporting Roles represent those Business Partner Types involved in related business processes that
are referred to in the information exchanged within the Provide Catalogue process.(see ref. 5)

3.3. Business Domain View
3.3.1. Catalogue Process within the BUY-SHIP-PAY Model

The Catalogue Business Process is part of the supply chain process. A catalogue may be
thought of as equivalent to a quotation or as part of a contract reflecting product information
and agreed terms of business. It is positioned within the BUY-SHIP-PAY model as part of the
Establish Business Agreement use case.

Start here if
The Business Entity Life Cycle shows the states that the Catalogue Entity may reach as the Catalogue
business process is executed. Each change of state results from the exchange of information between
the business partners using the appropriate business transactions. The Catalogue Process requires
four re-useable business transactions to achieve this. See section 5 and 7 for the transaction details.

6. Business Collaborations processes

The two business collaborations in the Catalogue process are implemented using five business
transactions illustrated above. The authorized roles of the sender and receiver of the business
transactions in the collaborations are related to the Catalogue Provider and Catalogue Receiver. The
order in which the transactions occur is shown in the corresponding Activity diagram.
6.1.1. Provide Catalogue By Subscription Business Collaboration

This collaboration uses two of the transactions-RequestSubscription and NotifyResponse.
The Subscription Requester and the ResponseReceiver roles in the transactions are taken by the
Catalogue Receiver. The SubscriptionResponder and ResponseProvider roles are taken by the
Catalogue Provider. Sub

The Business Entities involved in a Catalogue and the relations between them are shown in the
Catalogue Entity Model, figure 20 below.
A catalogue consists of Catalogue Items and these contain details of products, trade agreement and
trade delivery. The business attributes of these entities form the basis for the information exchanged in
the Catalogue transaction set.
