What is papiNet? papiNet Is

• An international paper and forest products
  industry e-business initiative.

What is papiNet?papiNet Goals

• To increase efficiencies in transaction and
  marketplace activities through
• documented business processes, with
• Supporting standard XML messages, and
• consistent data definitions, common terminology
  and formats
• real-time exchange of information through the
  internet
• To ensure that the standards are interoperable
• Between trading partners in the paper and forest
  products industry.
• Between trading partners in other industries
• ebXML envelope
• Engage other standards initiatives
• To provide standards that are open and freely
  available

Implementation Status Current and Planned
Implementations

• Trading partner linkages in production and
  scheduled to be in production in the upcoming six
  months.
• A link is defined as a from-to trading partner
  relationship for a given continent.
• Companies who report using papiNet for internal
  communication are not included in this analysis,
  only their external linkage.
• Besides the outstanding growth in production use
  this chart also illustrates the high degree
  conversion of planned implementation to actual
  use.
• Our target for 2005 is 230 linkages.

Implementation Status Current and Planned
Implementations by Message
Short-Term
Production

• Basic messages are used most frequently including
  Delivery Message, Purchase Order, Invoice, Order
  Confirmation, and Goods Receipt
• There is still a long way to go on Basic messages
  before other messages will be implemented

8
Implementation Status Production Use of Each
Message

• The most prevalently implemented message remains
  the Delivery Message followed by the Purchase
  Order, Order Confirmation, and Invoice.

papiNet StandardJust what is the papiNet
Standard?

• Set of common electronic formats and terminology
  for the paper and forest products industry
• Designed to facilitate application-to-application
  information exchange
• Interoperability guidelines based on the ebXML
  message service specification (ISO 15000)
• Designed to facilitate system-to-system
  information exchange
• Stylesheets, currently through version 2.10
• Designed to facilitate human understanding of
  message content
• Implementation Guidelines
• Designed to facilitate rapid use
• Case Studies (Business Scenarios)
• Answers to common situations
• Sample XML
• What the XML would look like

papiNet is not an eCommerce portal and there is
no charge to use papiNet!

papiNet StandardBrief Review of our Structure

• Messages have a very uniform structure with the
  common definitions contained in file that is
  shared amongst all the message schema files.
• You can depend on a consistent definition
  regardless of where the element is used.

Common definitions are shared amongst all the
messages providing a consistent, universal
approach and easy implementation.

papiNet StandardA Bit More Detail
17
papiNet StandardA Look at the XML Output

• XML allows you to predefine and restrict choices
  for the content. In this case weve restricted
  the content to a predefined list of values. You
  can also
• Impose a constant format for dates
• Define patterns to be applied

18
InteroperabilityA Standard Approach

• ebXML is a UN/CEFACT and OASIS standard that has
  achieved ISO standard status (ISO 15000)
• There are several distinct parts to the standard,
  papiNet has only formally accepted the Message
  Service and Collaboration (CPPA) aspects.
• The ebXML Message Service Specification includes
  the definition of the envelope as well as how the
  Message Service should behave
• The ebXML envelope acts as a common interface
  between systems
• Your internal integration information will be
  used to determine how the ebXML envelope is used
  (when received) and how you will create the ebXML
  envelope (when sending).

InteroperabilityThe papiNet Scope

• papiNet Interoperability Guidelines are designed
  to assure that regardless of the messaging
  service used any trading partner can open a
  message (payload) sent to them.
