The overall project view
ITAIDE develops a Canonical Information Model
(based on UNeDocs) for electronic documents and
document mapping software to improve the
pan-European interoperability of taxation and
customs systems. This interoperability is an
essential prerequisite to achieve strategic goals
for e-customs such as the introduction of
Authorised Economic Operator and Single Window
Access service provisioning for businesses.

ITAIDe Objectives

• Standards development for e-customs
• Technical and semantic interoperability for
  e-customs
• E-customs procedure redesign methodology
• Network collaboration model
• E-customs demonstrators
• Dissemination

ITAIDe - the Benefits

• accuracy and accessibility of business data for
  customs offices
• efficiency and transparency of procedures and
  complete supply chains
• pan-European interoperability by simplifying and
  harmonising procedures

Procedure redesign and new documents
.. the emphasis up until now has been on
replacing each paper document with a
corresponding electronic document, rather than
on a fundamental redesign of the system, where
the specific administrative document might
possibly become redundant altogether.  ITAIDe
develops a procedure redesign methodology to
improve the efficiency and simplification of
e-customs procedures.

Document and Message Standards(Workpackage 1 )
Standard Foundation (Model based) Canonical model
reusing UNeDocs Linkage with UN/CEFACT, TDED,
WCO, eCustoms 2007, UNeDocs Training on Core
Components, CEFACT, UBL, GS1 XMLfor the living
labs Interoperability testing .

Standards to be used
For eForms - w3c XML, XSLT, and FO (Formatting
Objects) For electronic data exchange -
UN/CEFACTs Core Components - The UN/CEFACT Core
Component Library - UN/CEFACT XML NDRs (Naming
and Design Rules) - UN/EDIFACT and UNTDED (ISO
7372) - WCO (World Customs Organisation) Data
model
9
Three standards to bridge eForms, data models and
eDocuments

• An electronic version of the UN Layout Key
  standard
• A methodology which will enable the individual
  pieces of data held in an eForm to be linked with
  the core component data structures of the
  underlying data model
• A set of naming and design rules which will
  enable a predictable production of XML from an
  eForm which is compliant to the UN/CEFACT XML
  naming and design rules
