0 Summary The meeting concentrated on finalisation of the ebIX® profiles and the principles for modelling. Finally all modelling issues seem to be solved. However, ETC still needs to verify the agreed homework on the next ETC meeting before a common ebIX® CuS and EMD model can be presented for the ebIX® forum and thereafter published.

1 Approval of agenda The agenda was approved with the following additions:  UN/CEFACT , see 14 under AOB  Publication, distribution and national customisations of ebIX® models, see new item 10

2 Minutes from previous meetings The minutes from the previous meeting was approved with the following comments:  Jan have noted that there was an “a” too much under item 5, i.e. "However the Use of OCL constraints will moved to a a new topic in the ebIX® methodology, …."

3 Report from meeting with TMG/ATG (Kees) Kees went through the presentation he showed for TMG. Thereafter the report distributed by Kees was reviewed. The only consequence, on short term, is that ebIX® needs to update the UPCC profile published on the UMM development web site.

4 UMM2 BCV, BIV and XML schemas for CuS and EMD - Main item for the meeting

5 Review of the CuS BIV Ove had made a new proposal for the CuS UMM2 Business Information View for the Request Change-of Supplier Document and had the following comments and questions to the ebIX MagicDraw profiles:  In the EnergyParty ABIE, both Identification and Role are optional [0..1], why? Conclusion:

ETC - ebIX Technical Committee Page: 1 We merge the MP-Party and EnergyParty ABIE, calling it Energy_Party, adding a name and keeping all three attributes optional (using OCL to constraint the content).

 In the EnergyDocument ABIE, the cardinality of all three BBIEs are stated as [1]. Within UN/CEFACT the cardinality of 1 is the default and not shown. Conclusion: We will ask Christian Huemer for the right solution. For the time being we keep [1].

 The ABIE Service is missing in the “ebIX Profile / ebIX ABIE” package. Conclusion: The ebIX® profile for MagicDraw was updated with the Service ABIE, together with other ABIEs needed in the CuS and EMD projects.

 According to UPCC, we should use an underscore “_” between a qualifier term and a ACC name, e.g. Energy_Party. Conclusion: We change all BBIE, ABIE and ASBIE to include the underscore between the qualification term and the CC name, which is according to UPCC,

 Where should the Identification attribute from the CuS UMM2 Business Requirements View be mapped? To the EnergyDocument_dentification or the Payload_Event_Identification. Conclusion: The Identification attribute will be mapped to Payload_Event_Identification.

 How to specify that either the Transport Capacity Responsible Party or the Balance Responsible Party is to be used? Conclusion: The OCL statements were updated.

6 Content of the Service and Energy document classes The content of the Service and Energy document classes ware discussed and agreed, see example in C.

7 ebIX BIE/QDT Library The ebIX BIE/QDT Library was updated.

8 New modelling features Kees showed a proposal for mapping to EDIFACT in ebIX UMM-2 models.

The proposal includes the creation of an UML structure reflecting the EDIFACT message. Classes are made for UNSM, Segment groups, Segments, Data elements (DE) and Composites. Association end names are used to specify number of repetitions and line number in the EDFACT message. The ebIX® documents are mapped to the UML EDIFACT structure. For mapping associations the tagged values from the stereotype <>, i.e. DEPos, SEPos and Value are used. Similar principle (tagged values) will be used for the BDTs related to the ebIX® BBIEs.

Kees also showed a nice word table, which he expects can be derived from the UML model.

The discussion related to Harmonised Role Model discussion one step further was postponed due to lack of time.

ETC - ebIX Technical Committee Page: 2 9 Proposal for updated and simplified ebIX® Methodology Including addition of a chapter in the ebIX® Methodology related to the Use of OCL constraints was postponed.

10 Publication, distribution and national customisations of ebIX® models It was discussed how to publish the model:  We will publish the MagicDraw model in XMI format (.mdxml). However Kees will send a question to MD asking if there are any consequences of doing this (currently the model is saved in MDZIP format).  The current model still needs some verification, i.e. verification if the CCs, ABIEs, UMM stereotypes etc are in line with the latest UN/CEFACT versions.  National extensions also needs special care: o It is important to stress that national additions are based on UN/CEFCAT ACCs and ABIEs for CCL and customised by OCL statements. o National extensions must be published separately from the ebIX models and include an identification of the responsible agency for the extension. o We keep the possibility to have national code lists within the ebIX® model. o Kees will ask TMG (Christian), if he can support the creation of a mechanism for specifying the responsible agency for a customisation of an envelope. I.e. how to specify national deviations in the OCL statements.

During this item it was noted that there are some old EMD documents under the Document page, which should be removed.

Homework:  Ove will update the EEM-Structure BCV and BIV part of the model, with all possible class diagrams, i.e. all but Metering point characteristics diagrams.  Kees will update the EEM-Measure BCV and BIV part of the model, with all possible class diagrams, according to EMD road map.  Kees will make available a list over national codes available in the current model, which will be presented to CuS, EMD and ETC.  Kees will update the UPCC profile according to latest version available for UPCC.  Jan will verify and update the UMM base and foundation profiles according to latest version available for UMM, including: o Changing the base class for initFlow and reFlow from Dependency to Flow. o Verify if <> have been renamed to <>  Kees will ask the ebIX® web master to remove the old EMD documents under the Document page.  All should find national codes for inclusion in the ebIX® profiles.  Kees will make a first draft, meant for the ebIX® forum, for Publication, distribution and national customisations of ebIX® models. To be discussed at the next ETC.

Items for next ETC meeting:  A final review (before publication) of the new UMM2 version of the complete ebIX® model  Review of a first draft document, meant for the ebIX® forum, for how to publish, distribute and make national customisations of the ebIX® models.  Review of possible national code lists for inclusion in the ebIX® profiles.
