CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 15944-4:08 (R2013)

This National Standard of Canada is equivalent to International Standard ISO/IEC 15944-4:2007. Scope This part of ISO/IEC 15944 provides a set of UML class diagrams and conceptual explanations that circumscribe the Open-edi Business Transaction Ontology. It explains the mechanics of a business transaction state machine - the procedural component of an OeBTO - and the (internal) constraint component of OeBTO - its repository for business rules. This part of ISO/IEC 15944 addresses collaborations among independent trading partners as defined in ISO/IEC 15944-1. This part of ISO/IEC 15944 applies to both binary collaborations (buyer and seller) and mediated collaborations (buyer, seller, third-party). The ontological features described herein propose standards only for the BOV - that is, the business aspects of business transactions as they are defined in ISO/IEC 15944-1.
