ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types

Introduction
The UN/CEFACT BUY-SHIP-PAY Reference Data Model (BSP-RDM) bridges two domains within the
International Supply Chain Programme Development Area (PDA), namely the Transport and Logistics
Domain and the Supply Chain and Procurement Domain, providing a unifying framework, consolidating the
constituent data models of these two domains by addressing any overlaps between the concepts used in
their different contexts.
UN/CEFACT has been working on Reference Data Models (RDMs) for International Supply Chains and Multi-
Modal Transport. These two RDMs share a same base of components from the UN Core Component Library
(UN CCL), which are interlinked but used differently due to differences in context and semantics between
the international sales and transport contracts, information exchanges and business practices.
In the concept of RDM, as outlined by the UN/CEFACT White Paper on RDM approved in April 2017, these are
complete and focused subsets specific to the needs of a particular domain. The context messages are then
subset data exchange structures definitions of the RDMs.
For maintenance purposes, if the current two RDMs are developed separately, any changes in one will
require changes to the other. A higher level RDM as the Buy-Ship-Pay (BSP) thereby facilitates their use and
maintenance.
Therefore, the goal is to create an intermediate subset of the UN CCL focusing on the shared aspects across
the international supply chain and transport-logistics chains. This document is expected to benefit modelers
and developers for Collaborative Information Exchanges by facilitating an intermediate subset of the UN
CCL, which both the International Supply Chain RDM and the Multi-Modal Transport RDM are based on.
The UN/CEFACT international standardisation process delivers and is composed of three (3) parts:
— Part 1: Business Requirement Specification (BRS)
— Part 2: Core Components Business Document Assembly (CCBDA) Data Model
— Part 3: Syntax
This document is the first part of the BSP RDM standardisation set of outputs. The objective of this document
is to describe the requirements for a generic Reference Data Model (RDM), generalizing the concepts of
the Multi-Modal Transport Reference Data Model (MMT-RDM) and the Supply Chain Reference Data Model
(SCRDM), leading to the development, publishing and improving the maintenance of a Business Standard,
which can be applied by country and regional administrations and industries.
Therefore, the BSP-RDM in combination with the UN/CEFACT International Supply Chain Reference Model
(ISCRM) BRS describes a generic reference data model and provides a framework to accommodate the
requirements of:
a) cross-border supply chain trade related transactions, including government domain needs for their own
specific information exchanges;
b) supporting the transport-related processes involved in the cross-border supply chain and covering the
involved business areas at a high-level, the main parties and the information involved;
whilst complying to and fostering the adoption of the overall processes and data structures as these have
been developed in UN/CEFACT.
Hence, the BSP-RDM provides the definitions of contextualized trade and transport-related data exchange
structures mapping paper documents which can be integrated into end-to-end software solutions for
Traders, Carriers, Freight Forwarders, Agents, Banks, Customs, Other Governmental Authorities etc.
The BSP-RDM project (of UN/CEFACT) follows the practice of all referenced projects, adopting a holistic
approach to develop a reference data mode. This model is based on the widely used UN/CEFACT Core
Component Library (CCL), which is also used by other standards such as GS1. The BSP-RDM project aims
to bring together the data exchange requirements of international multimodal transport processes,

v
including related trade, insurance, customs and other regulatory documentation requirements based on the
integration of trade facilitation and e-Business best practices.
Derivative information exchange specifications can be developed to support the requirements of
conventional UN/CEFACT data exchange structure formats for UN-aligned paper documents, UN/EDIFACT
or UN/CEFACT XML messages, and information exchanges to support web-based processes such as those
required for Single Windows implementations.
The UN/CEFACT BSP-RDM framework will be used to generate Business Standard(s) which will include
paper and electronic document structures as data exchanges which have been derived from the BSP-
RDM. Derivation from this reference data model ensures that each BSP paper or electronic document
data structures specification is an individual implementation of a methodology which follows the aligned
concepts described in UNECE Recommendation 1, the UN Layout Key (UNLK).
This ensures that trading partners can choose the type of data exchanges technology that best meets their
business requirements and technology capabilities and also provides a migration path for the adoption of
new technologies.
Further, the BSP-RDM accommodates the additional requirements generated by contemporary integration
approaches, which deploy RESTful APIs and JSON-LD data exchanges and specifications, these to be
accounted in the follow-up phase of the Requirements Specifications Mappings (RSMs) following the UN/
CEFACT CCBDA process, and the generation of the message definitions.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that
compliance with this document may involve the use of a patent.
ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity, and scope of this patent right.
The holder of this patent right has assured ISO that he/she is willing to negotiate licences under reasonable
