CEN Workshop eCAT/cMap launched successfully
The one-year CEN project cMap (Classification and Mapping for eBusiness and eProcurement) in the CEN workshop eCAT (Multilingual eCataloguing and eClassification in eBusiness) was launched successfully. As a follow-up project to CC3P (Classification and Catalogue Systems for Public and Private Procurement) it takes place again with the participation of the eCl@ss office.
Among the objectives of the workshop CEN (European Committee for Standardization) is a complete mapping of the four major classification systems in Europe (UNSPSC, GPC, eCl@ss, CPV) and the concept of a platform-driven maintenance process of this mapping. Behind this underlies the attempt to provide users with a higher interoperability between the standards.
The project will conclude with the submission of a CWA (CEN Workshop Agreement) in August 2012, which is the final report on the results of the project that will be published free of charge on the CEN website.
On 10 October 2011 the first plenary meeting of the workshop participants will take place in the eCl@ss head office in Cologne. In a conference in mid-2012 the results will be presented to the public.
Participation in CEN workshops is free of charge to anyone interested. If you are interested in participating in the workshop, as well as in further information, please contact the eCl@ss head office.
