Supplychain Wide Area Workflow Interoperability and the TOSS Project in Norway

The recent OASIS Symposium on Interoperability featured a presentation on EPR and eFolders.

The particular focus is on the TOSS project in Norway and establishing interoperable workflow processes across the supplychain using OASIS BCM based techniques in combination with eFolders.

PSQA project highlights Public Supervision and Quality Assurance needs

The PSQA program is aimed at providing a comprehensive standards-based solution for distributed supplychain monitoring in areas of public risk.

The initial focus for the PSQA work is the fishing industry TOSS initiative for tracing fish products from origin in Norway to consumers in Asia.

Public awareness of the threat of new viruses and contaminants show the need to provide fast and accurate information for incident management and outbreak control.

EPR Project Site Launched!

A new site focused on implementing EPR projects is now available.

The initial focus is the Trade Of Seafood Safely (TOSS) from Capture To Table project. The main purpose is to help small and medium sized fishing industries export fresh quality secured seafood products to the Asian market, handling the whole valuechain including Public Supervision and reportings.

EPRforum teams with HP, Atos, METU, IPA, UGlam and Magic to bid EU STREP initiative

The EPRforum.org team has teamed with Hewlett-Packard European Innovation Centre, ATOS ORIGIN SOCIEDAD ANÓNIMA ESPAÑOLA, Middle East Technical University, Magic Software Enterprises (Israel) Ltd, Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation, and the School of Computing, University of Glamorgan to propose a joint initative to develop innovative web service solutions combining open source web service tools, EPR eFolder and XDS Registry with semantic information processing and best-of-breed commercial integration tools.

The project initiative is planned for 36 months of effort and aimed at supporting the competitive position of European software industry (notably SMEs) in more globalised and service-oriented markets. This requires advanced capabilities in the engineering and management of software systems, services and applications and is to be addressed by creating and extending open and interoperable platforms, methodologies, middleware, standards and tools. The results will enable the design and management of complex software systems and, particularly, the simple and low cost creation of new types of services and applications, including those for the mobile user.

To do this requires providing business-focused tools that can both readily integrate legacy applications and enable new workflow process tools so that business can deliver innovative and powerful business capabilities and competitive advantageous customer services.

To achieve this we are leveraging open source software components developed globally and augmenting those tools with best-of-breed product solutions that are founded on the use of open public specifications for XML-based methods and technologies. In addition we are bringing together research on both ground-breaking and revolutionary new and secure e-Folder workflow systems originating from Norway with advanced semantic techniques developed as part of EU funded ARTEMIS / SATINE project work from Turkey. The goal is to rapidly adapt and re-use these existing tools, specifications and project work to bring together and integrate a richer and more capable business-centric solution set.
