CEF eDelivery Webinar Series: Send your first AS4 Message and Discover Domibus 3.3


European Commission, 2017


The European Commission is organising two interactive, live webinars during October looking at specific aspects of the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) eDelivery building block.

The CEF eDelivery building block helps users to exchange electronic data and documents with one another in a reliable and trusted way.

CEF eDelivery is based on a distributed model called the “4-corner model”. In this model, the back-end systems of the users don’t exchange data directly with each other but do this through Access Points. These Access Points are conformant to the same technical specifications and are therefore capable of communicating with each other. As a result of this, users adopting CEF eDelivery can easily and safely exchange data even if their IT systems were developed independently from each other

This Hands-on Webinar aims to showcase the sending of AS4 messages using eDelivery in the FIWARE Lab instance. During the Webinar attendees will have the opportunity to send an AS4 message via the FIWARE Lab instance and get real-time support. 

Participants to this Webinar will also learn about:

  •  CEF eDelivery and its connection with the Digital Single Market
  • An overview of the state of play of CEF building blocks' reuse in cross-border and domain specific contexts 
  • The CEF eDelivery specifications
  • Domibus - the European Commission open source sample implementation based on the AS4 profile that can be used to get familiar with the technical specifications in a test environment or can work as a solution in a production environment.

Participants to this Webinar will learn about:

  • Domibus - the European Commission open source sample implementation based on the AS4 profile

  • Step by step guide on how to upgrade to Domibus 3.3


The CEF building blocks provide basic services which can be reused to enable more complex digital public services offered to citizens, businesses and public administration. They provide reusable tools and services helping to underpin the Digital Single Market, that aims to remove digital regulatory barriers, contributing as much as EUR 415 billion per year to the European economy. The CEF Digital 2018 Portal is the home of the CEF building blocks (eDeliveryeIDeInvoicingeSignature and eTranslation). It is the one-stop-shop for information about the building blocks. The portal provides access to tools, services and software that can be used in any European project to facilitate the delivery of digital public services across borders.
