Join us in one of the upcoming eDelivery events in 2022-2023

Holiday season is over and the eDelivery team is happy to share its planned communication activities for the rest of the year and beyond. After seeing a lot of community interest for the webinars on how to send an AS4 message with eDelivery AS4 sample software Domibus on 13 July 2022 and 15 September 2022 and the successful relaunch of Informal Cooperation Network for eDelivery on 9 September 2022, the eDelivery team is looking forward to welcoming you in upcoming webinars and meetings.

We’ve already booked our calendars for another two webinars! The webinar on the new features in Domibus 5.0 scheduled for 18 October 2022 is just around the corner and we invite you to register here. Registrations are also open to the other webinar about Domibus plugins on 22 November 2022, where current and prospective users of Domibus are invited to learn more about the available options for their existing IT systems to interact with Domibus as an eDelivery Access Point (web service-, file system- and JMS-based integration). You can directly register by clicking here.

The eDelivery team is going to finish the communications activities of 2022 with the presentation of the eDelivery building block and how it can support data spaces in the different sectors in the SEMIC Conference Data Spaces in an interoperable Europe on 6 December 2022.

Next year we will start with the dedicated event on Once Only Technical System and eDelivery implementation for the SDG Once Only Technical System community. The relaunch of the eDelivery Interoperability Forum for creators of AS4 conformant software in the first months of 2023 will also expand on market opportunities regarding developing AS4 services for customers and explore the AS4 service providers needs and wants. The business owners are going to have a dedicated webinar in Q1 2023 as well about the eDelivery value proposition, the various possibilities of its implementation, success stories and support activities. During the spring months, we will organise the 2nd meeting of the eDelivery Informal Cooperation Network, which is going to be hybrid (in person in Brussels and online). After the post-pandemic catch-up on 9 September 2022, we are looking forward to even more discussions, knowledge sharing and collaborative work within the Forum. If you are interested and would like to learn more, do not hesitate to check the network's page and/or contact us.

We will kick off Q2 with the webinar on dynamic discovery using SMP and SML.

If you would like to stay tuned and be the first to hear about our organised events, do not hesitate to register to our event notifications and to contact us by email EC-DIGITAL-BUILDING-BLOCKS@ec.europa.eu.

The eDelivery Building Block

eDelivery is a building block that provides technical specifications and standards, installable software and ancillary services to allow projects to create a network of nodes for secure digital data exchange.

Domibus is the sample software provided by the European Commission to implement an eDelivery AS4 Access Point for the interoperable, secure and reliable exchange of data. It is based on the eDelivery AS4 profile, an open technical specification for the secure, web-based, payload-agnostic exchange of data or documents.

SMP is the sample software provided by the European Commission to implement an eDelivery Service Metadata Publisher (SMP) for publishing and retrieving data necessary for an eDelivery party to dynamically configure its system for message exchange with counterparties using eDelivery. It is based on the eDelivery SMP profile, an open technical specification for publishing service metadata within a 4-corner network.

SML is the sample software provided by the European Commission to implement an eDelivery Service Metadata Locator (SML) for an eDelivery party to discover the URLs of other counterparties using eDelivery Access Points and their corresponding metadata. It is based on the eDelivery BDXL profile, an open technical specification for locating Access Points within a network.
