e-Agreements provide global parties with a common set of rules by which they agree to exchange electronic data or to collaborate electronically. These rules supplement the basic underlying agreements for goods, services or collaborative efforts providing a framework for electronic trading and collaboration. Use of a standard template provides benefits to both Prime and Supplier. The terms and conditions in these templates can be reused by all Parties eliminating the need to re-negotiate independent terms and conditions for every new situation. Many of the following documents are PDF files, and require Adobe Acrobat Reader. Download a free copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Implementation Conventions and Business Examples These Draft Standards for Trial Use contain the format and establish the data content of various transaction sets for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. IUID Data Exchange Between Partner and Prime In accordance with Department of Defense policy on information requirements for Item Unique Identification, the AIA Electronic Enterprise Integration Committee is offering a solution set specifically designed for the suppliers in the aerospace industry who must contractually provide IUID-related data to the Prime contractors an electronic form. The purpose of the guide is to enable a supplier to choose a file format and method of IUID data exchange based on his technical capability. For example, the solution set recommends three file formats (flat file, Excel spreadsheet, XML schema) and three transfer methods (e-mail, FTP, web portal) from which a supplier and prime can select a format and transfer method which suits a specific situation best. This 'best practice' reduces unnecessary variety for suppliers and primes alike.
Global Electronic Collaborative Agreement (GECA) The GECA provides global parties with a common set of rules by which they agree to exchange electronic data. The template is used to support electronic collaboration between companies engaging in domestic and international eBusiness practices. The GECA will supplement the primary terms and conditions and will govern the exchange of collaborative eData.
Global Trading Partner Agreement (GTPA) The purpose of the model template GTPA is to supplement the primary terms and conditions governing the purchase and sale of goods and services between trading partners. This agreement provides the contractual framework governing general eBusiness exchanges. It will provide companies, large and small, with contractual language for the electronic exchange of information between global trading partners.
RFID Data Exchange (RFID) An industry guideline, including templates and samples, has been developed to minimize the burden of RFID requirements on the supply chain by recommending a standard solution set of file formats and methods of information transfer. The recommendations allow flexibility in choosing format and transfer mode according to a supplier's own technical capabilities. Even though the industry guideline is intended for the exchange of RFID data between industry partners (i.e., suppliers to prime contractors), the data requirements documented here are compliant with DoD RFID requirements, which prime contractors must satisfy. The AIA Electronic Enterprise Integration Committee will ensure that possible changes in contractual RFID requirements are harmonized in future revisions of the industry guideline.
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) As Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) gains momentum within the information technology community, the OASIS Reference Model for Service Oriented Architecture provides a standard approach for categorizing and understanding the various key functional components. Therefore, this standard provides a common vocabulary of functions applicable to all SOA implementations. Member companies should reference the OASIS Reference Model for Service Oriented Architecture when discussing SOA with other organizations, such as vendors, customers, and suppliers. Universal Data Element Framework (UDEF) This Guideline for Implementing the Universal Data Element Framework (UDEF) will assist organizations in understanding how they can implement the UDEF and reduce the costs of building and maintaining application-to-application interfaces – whether within a single enterprise or between enterprises or across industries. The UDEF global indexing standard should be viewed as a strategic enabler for application integration cost reductions and for migration to a Service Oriented Architecture. Data standards such as ebXML, STEP, and others can each solve a portion of the problem; however, each alone lacks the unlimited extensibility to cover all domains that UDEF offers. |
