UN/CEFACT Reference Data Models - Reuse and specify ready-to-use building blocks for your data model - Free webinar
2024-09-20 11:00 - 12:00 (Europe/Berlin)
The UN/CEFACT Reference Data Models bridge two domains within the International Supply Chain, namely the Transport and Logistics domain and the Supply Chain and Procurement domain. In terms of content, they provide a unifying framework for consolidating the constituent data models of these two domains. Importantly for users, the unified framework addresses any overlap between the concepts used in their different contexts. From a technical perspective, the Reference Data Models provide a unique semantic electronic tool. Ready-made building blocks are provided that can be reused and further specified.
Hands on customisation and reuse of UN/CEFACT Reference Data Models (RDMs)
The Reference Data Models share the same base of components from the UN Core Component Library (UN CCL). These components are interlinked, but applied differently due to varying context and semantics between international sales and transport contracts, information exchanges and business practices.
The webinar will provide an opportunity to get to know the different core component objects of the Reference Data Models (RDMs) and receive comprehensive information on the concept, methodology and benefits of the RDMs. This introduction is followed by a practical part in which we show you how you can reuse the reference data model for your supply chain data exchange implementations with GEFEG.FX software. Using a practical example, we present how to create your own company/organization’s implementation guidelines based on the RDMs in the distribution repository.
Topics of our webinar on “CEFACT Reference Data Models – Reuse and specify ready-to-use building blocks for your data model”
In this webinar you will learn how to …

Reuse the GEFEG.FX UN/CEFACT global reference data models distribution data to design customised data exchanges with cross-border supply chain business partners
Contextualize and restrict your usages of the reference data models
Incorporate customer/user specific data requirements and business context
Generate XML schemas for data exchange implementation following the UNCEFACT Core Component Technical Specifications (CCTS) Naming and Design Rules

Customised guides for your XML schemas - Why, when and how should you use this technology? - Free webinar
2024-09-13 11:00 - 12:00
Effective data exchange with XML schemas: Leverage the benefits of user-specific guidelines in your software
Many companies use XML schemas for the exchange of business data. To make these schemas even more effective and drastically reduce the maintenance effort, GEFEG.FX software offers you powerful methods for customising and managing your XML schemas. With user-specific guidelines, you can customise your schemas quickly and efficiently such as CEFACT XML, GS1 XML, connectSpec (previously: OAGIS), or UBL, provided by the GEFEG.FX software.
GEFEG.FX’s XML Schema Guide technology intentionally focuses on a way to develop customised XML schemas in GEFEG.FX and adapt them to company requirements in a time-saving manner. Thus you drastically reduce future maintenance efforts.
What’s the guide technology in GEFEG.FX?
In GEFEG.FX software the term guide refers to the actual implementation of an XML schema, data model or EDI standard. Alternatively, a guide is also called a specification, message implementation guidelines, implementation guideline or guideline. It can be regarded of as a writeable, transparent layer that is put over the base – the original XML schema – and allows all of the original structural components, attributes, types, and comments to show through.
Why and when should you use guidelines for your XML schemas?

For frequent changes: If you need to update the underlying XML schema regularly.
If you cannot change the base schema: If a standard organisation, regulatory body or external system has created the schema and it is not under your direct control.
For different profiles: If you need to maintain different profiles for different use cases.

Reduce maintenance efforts and costs with XML Guide technology
The guide technology has the major benefit of allowing the base schema to be changed without the need of a new guide. Notes and comments submitted to the schema guide, such as specifications or restriction, are simply stored inside the guide and have no effect on the base. You can put several schema guides on top of one other, as if they were transparent, and further restrict given the context.
Webinar topics of “Customised guides for your XML schemas – Why, when and how should you use this technology?”
In this webinar you will learn everything you need to know about:

The basic design principles for schema guides
How to edit schema guides in GEFEG.FX
How to use the XML Schema Guide Editor in GEFEG.FX
Creating human-readable documentation for your XML Schema Guides
Importing and exporting XML Schemas

Take the opportunity to deepen your knowledge and make your XML Schemas more efficient – with the advanced features of GEFEG.FX.
Any questions about the webinar and/or input on other webinar topics?

How to apply code lists in order to improve my EDI specification with GEFEG.FX software - Free webinar
2024-06-04 11:00 - 12:00 | Online
Using code lists in EDI specifications ensures that unique field values are used in the related EDI messages. A code list thus provides an excellent means of specifying values precisely and supporting both the EDI data architect and the implementer with the same vocabulary.
Code lists serve as value inventories from which codes are selected and transmitted in an electronic document. Since code lists are very comprehensive and contain all code values possible in a given context, they improve uniqueness by restricting codes in the GEFEG.FX Guide where possible. For example, the country code in the address field could be limited to “DE” if you operate exclusively within Germany.
Our recommendation: Link your guides in GEFEG.FX to code lists and use a simple selection to determine which codes are eligible for selected fields.
If you ask yourself any of the following questions …

How do I update an existing code list in GEFEG.FX?
For which industry or company-specific codes do I create my own code list?
What do I have to do to make a code list multilingual?
How do I output a code selection in the documentation of my EDI specification?

… please join our webinar: we will provide you with the answers. And you will learn how to use code lists in XML Schema and EDI guides.
Webinar topics of “How to apply code lists in order to improve my EDI specification with GEFEG.FX software”

Now you can plan and create APIs with GEFEG.FX - Free webinar
2024-05-28 11:00 - 12:00 | Online
In this webinar you will learn how to plan and create APIs with GEFEG.FX. In addition, you will gain an insight into how you can use the new API editor in GEFEG.FX.
Application Programming Interfaces, or APIs for short, are not only in great demand across industries, but also across domains. EDI and e-business specialists often discuss what role APIs can play in the exchange of business messages and what advantages the use of APIs brings. In these considerations, it should be taken into account that data exchange via WebAPIs differs in many respects from classical EDI: The development of APIs focuses on resource-based and service-oriented data exchange. Whereas up to now the digitilisation of paper documents has been the focus of a company’s EDI activities, the use of API goes far beyond this and opens up new possibilities.
OpenAPI – A specification standard for APIs
GEFEG.FX supports the development of WebAPIs with OpenAPI 3. Why OpenAPI 3? The use of standards as a basis for development and planning for data exchange between organisations and companies is an important pillar for GEFEG’s products and services. The use of standards (such as GS1 XML, ISO20022 XML) results in rationalisation effects and interoperability of applications. Users of international standards benefit from the knowledge and know-how of process and data specialists who have been involved in the development for years. We also rely on standards in the development of APIs: The specification standard OpenAPI is supported by many experts (including Google, IBM, SAP, Microsoft) and focuses on standardising the specification of an API.
Create APIs from company-specific GEFEG.FX guides
Create an API from scratch or use existing GEFEG.FX schemas and models as the basis for a new API. Learn about the technical steps for transforming a GEFEG.FX schema into an API. With just a few clicks, you can transform your company-specific schemas and models into APIs – including structures, codes, constraints, definitions and names. If required, APIs can output in JSON and YAML format, among others.
We show you how it’s done, and present practical procedures for creating an API. For example, we will show why a business message should not be completely transformed into an API.

Harmonising data in the transport sector - the Why and the How - Free webinar
2024-05-07 11:00 - 12:00 | Online
Digital documents have long been present in the global exchange of goods, accompanying every delivery and becoming increasingly important. The transport industry must therefore prepare itself for the fact that data as a digital companion and the associated data exchange will continue to increase in the coming years. The public sector is also planning to move from paper to electronic data in the future, supplementing the usual paper-based data exchange between the players in the logistics industry. Not only is the volume of data transfer increasing, but also the requirement to be able to process a large number of digital standards. It is well known that digital communication in the transport and logistics industry is not limited to a few B2B/B2G standards, as is the case in the automotive or consumer goods industry, for example.
These developments present companies with the challenge of keeping track of which data is already covered by their IT systems and which new requirements they need to take into account. An important step in adapting to new interfaces is to record the content that is used in transport contracts, freight processes, delivery notes, shipments and shipment tracking, for example. The recorded data can then be harmonised. This improves interoperability, gives you a better overview and strengthens your ability to react quickly and effectively to future changes.
UN/CEFACT Multi Modal Transport Reference Data Model
The UN/CEFACT Multimodal Transport Reference Data Model (MMT RDM) provides an important basis for supporting data harmonisation for all transport-related documents and also supports your implementations in the next step. The multimodal transport model comprises harmonised, semantic structures that cover all data used in the transport and logistics sector for electronic data exchange.
In our webinar, you will learn more about the various components of this model as well as the concept, methodology and data harmonisation benefits of using it. Not least due to the increasing number of eBusiness standards, EDI managers are increasingly opting to use a model-based approach. This means that you first represent the data of a business document in an abstract, syntax-neutral model. You then plan the specific data exchange formats on the basis of this model.
Topics of our webinar on “Harmonising data in the transport sector – the why and the how”
In this webinar you will learn how to …

reuse the Multi Modal Transport data model for data harmonisation and data exchange and edit it in GEFEG.FX
adapt it according to your business requirements
use it for implementation by quickly and easily generating documentation from your data, including XSD exports, and deploying it

Any questions about the webinar and/or input on other webinar topics?
Who should participate?
Transport and logistics professionals who want to get a better overview of their data, harmonise their data or plan and implement their data exchange based on the multi-modal transport model. Users who would like to find out more about the special customisation functions of the GEFEG.FX software, in which MMT-based data exchange subsets are specified and documented.
What should you already know?
General knowledge about data modelling and UN/CEFACT standards and publications is helpful, but not a requirement.

2024-03-21 09:00 - 17:00
Planning and implementing classic EDI guides with GEFEG.FX
In order to develop an EDI specification efficiently, many companies opt for proven and widely used EDI standards such as UN/EDIFACT, GS1 EANCOM or the VDA recommendations. Not least because they can trust that an established standard is future-proof and used by many companies. With GEFEG.FX software, you also use specialized, powerful and at the same time innovative software for preparing EDI applications for data exchange based on classic EDI standards. And you have the option of also developing XML schemas for data exchange with GEFEG.FX.
In the training focussing on planning and implementing classic EDI with GEFEG.FX, you will learn how to efficiently use standards provided by GEFEG.FX. Based on these standards, you will develop, document and maintain your own EDI specifications for electronic data interchange. Furthermore, you will learn how to document and specify IDoc structures, flat file formats or in-house standards with GEFEG.FX. In addition, you will learn how

to use GEFEG.FX to check EDI guides and in-house formats
to produce and check test data and
to create mappings, e.g. between SAP IDoc and an ORDERS Guideline.

During the training you will immediately apply what you have learned with practical exercises using the example of an EDIFACT-ORDERS. Of course we will also give you tips from our daily work with EDI specifications.

Customised guides for your XML schemas - Why, when and how should you use this technology? - Free webinar
2024-03-15 11:00 - 12:00 | Online
GEFEG.FX’s XML Schema Guide technology intentionally focuses on a way to develop customised XML schemas in GEFEG.FX, adapt them to company requirements in a time-saving manner based on the standards and formats provided by the software, such as CEFACT XML, GS1 XML, connectSpec (formerly: OAGIS), or UBL, and drastically reduce future maintenance efforts.
The guide technology in GEFEG.FX
In GEFEG.FX software the term guide refers to the specification, such as Message Implementation Guidelines, Implementation Conventions, or guideline for the actual implementation of an XML schema, data model, or EDI standard. It can be regarded of as a writeable, transparent layer that is put over the base – the original XML schema – and allows all of the original structural components, attributes, types, and comments to show through.
When would you use XML schema guide
XML schema guides are used to further describe and specify their XML schemas. The usage is straightforward as the same basic XML structure could be reused and further specified in different XML guides. It does make sense to use a guide if:

The XML schema used as a base changes regularly.

The XML schema used as a base is not under your control, but has been developed and provided by standards developing organisations, regulatory bodies, or created by developer’s system

Different profiles have to be maintained

Reduce maintenance efforts and costs with XML Guide technology
The guide technology has the major benefit of allowing the base schema to be changed without the need of a new guide.
Notes and comments submitted to the schema guide, such as specifications or restriction, are simply stored inside the guide and have no effect on the base.
Several schema guides can be put on top of one other, as if they were transparent, and can be further restricted given the context.

WebAPIs with OpenAPI 3 - 20th Training
2024-02-29 14:00 - 17:00 | Online
Web APIs with OpenAPI 3.x

Next generation data exchange, not just for EDI-experts
WebAPIs with OpenAPI 3 are now the talk of the town. Whether in the automotive industry, trade, customs, FinTecs or insurance. Companies everywhere are increasingly relying on APIs. International standardisation organisations such as UN/CEFACT are also addressing this topic.
The OpenAPI 3.x specification standard seems to be gaining acceptance here. It combines the claim to make an API readable both for a computer and for the web developer, who then has to implement it.
So is this the next generation of data exchange? Will it be able to solve all syntax problems and will it completely replace the classic EDI?
The online training introduces the topic of APIs and their benefits in the B2B and B2G environment. It also highlights the differences between web services and WebAPIs. Different approaches to message and resource-based data exchange make it possible, with appropriate design, to cover future use cases that were not even known when the API was created.
Key topics from the training

API – Terms and Basics
API – Classification and Distinction from Classic EDI (Web Services, SOA, REST, Open API versus Public API)
REST Service Contracts and Design Principles
Event-driven data exchange
The Open API 3.x specification standard
API Management and Governance
API development tips

Any questions about the web training and/or input on webinar topics?
Target audiences
The training is aimed at all those who want to get to know the concept of WebAPIs with OpenAPI 3 and their applicability for B2B and B2G data exchange. This includes both beginners to the topic as well as EDI experts who are dealing with WebAPIs for the first time.
Prerequisites
The training does not require any programming knowledge. However, a basic understanding of data exchange between applications, for example based on EDIFACT, XML or similar formats, is helpful.
Duration
2x 3 hours

Now you can plan and create APIs with GEFEG.FX - Free webinar
2023-11-07 11:00 - 12:00 | Online
In this webinar you will learn how to plan and create APIs with GEFEG.FX. In addition, you will gain an insight into how you can use the new API editor in GEFEG.FX.
Application Programming Interfaces, or APIs for short, are not only in great demand across industries, but also across domains. EDI and e-business specialists often discuss what role APIs can play in the exchange of business messages and what advantages the use of APIs brings. In these considerations, it should be taken into account that data exchange via WebAPIs differs in many respects from classical EDI: The development of APIs focuses on resource-based and service-oriented data exchange. Whereas up to now the digitilisation of paper documents has been the focus of a company’s EDI activities, the use of API goes far beyond this and opens up new possibilities.
OpenAPI – A specification standard for APIs
GEFEG.FX supports the development of WebAPIs with OpenAPI 3. Why OpenAPI 3? The use of standards as a basis for development and planning for data exchange between organisations and companies is an important pillar for GEFEG’s products and services. The use of standards (such as GS1 XML, ISO20022 XML) results in rationalisation effects and interoperability of applications. Users of international standards benefit from the knowledge and know-how of process and data specialists who have been involved in the development for years. We also rely on standards in the development of APIs: The specification standard OpenAPI is supported by many experts (including Google, IBM, SAP, Microsoft) and focuses on standardising the specification of an API.
Create APIs from company-specific GEFEG.FX guides
Create an API from scratch or use existing GEFEG.FX schemas and models as the basis for a new API. Learn about the technical steps for transforming a GEFEG.FX schema into an API. With just a few clicks, you can transform your company-specific schemas and models into APIs – including structures, codes, constraints, definitions and names. If required, APIs can output in JSON and YAML format, among others.
We show you how it’s done, and present practical procedures for creating an API. For example, we will show why a business message should not be completely transformed into an API.
Topics of our free webinar “Now you can plan and create APIs with GEFEG.FX”
In this webinar you will …

receive a short introduction to the topic of APIs
get to know the new GEFEG.FX API Editor
accompany the live creation of an API from a GEFEG.FX schema.

In terms of content, they provide a unifying framework for consolidating the constituent data models of these two domains. Importantly for users, the unified framework addresses any overlap between the concepts used in their different contexts. From a technical perspective, the Reference Data Models provide a unique semantic electronic tool. Ready-made building blocks are provided that can be reused and further specified.
Hands on customisation and reuse of UN/CEFACT Reference Data Models (RDMs)
The Reference Data Models share the same base of components from the UN Core Component Library (UN CCL). These components are interlinked, but applied differently due to varying context and semantics between international sales and transport contracts, information exchanges and business practices.
The webinar will provide an opportunity to get to know the different core component objects of the Reference Data Models (RDMs) and receive comprehensive information on the concept, methodology and benefits of the RDMs. This introduction is followed by a practical part in which we show you how you can reuse the reference data model for your supply chain data exchange implementations with GEFEG.FX software. Using a practical example, we present how to create your own company/organization’s implementation guidelines based on the RDMs in the distribution repository.

Efficiently develop guidelines for business data exchange with GEFEG.FX - Free webinar
2023-09-29 11:00 - 12:00 | Online
When preparing the exchange of business messages, most companies rely on international e-business standards such as EDIFACT, GS1 EANCOM®, Odette, VDA or others in order to develop guidelines for business data exchange. Other companies use proprietary standards or flat file formats.
Regardless of the e-business standard, the goal remains the same: a precise, error-free specification that reflects the specific business message exchange requirements of your company or organization. GEFEG.FX software offers you access to international standards and comprehensive and useful functions for efficiently developing guidelines.
Join our webinar and learn how to efficiently create company-specific specifications reusing classic B2B standards in GEFEG.FX. For advanced GEFEG.FX users, we will present tips and tricks on features such as multi-language support of a guide, or how to update a specification to a newer release of a B2B standard.
