New Communities: The Dilemma for eCom

Data Organization• The right data, for the right people, for the

right products, in the right places

Scaleability• Machine to machine

• Clear rules

• Applies to every region

Interoperability

Our Dilemma

Granularity

Simplicity One SingleTrade Item Model

One Data Set forEach Recipient

©2005 GS138

Proposed Solution: 2 Phases

Phase 1: • Determine rationale high-level groupings• Design and build an efficient XML construction

and conveyance mechanism

Phase 2:• Develop a more sophisticated context model• Develop clear rules about context use &

development• Re-evaluate phase 1 data sets in accordance

with 1 & 2
