Save the date! The eDelivery Interoperability Forum returns on the 27th of June

The next edition of the eDelivery Interoperability Forum is fast approaching. After the Forum’s relaunch last month, the eDelivery team is excited to invite interested service and solution providers to another appointment with the community! 

During the first post-pandemic edition of the eDelivery Interoperability Forum last May, software and solution providers came together to discuss key updates and developments on the future of the building block, such as the new conformance testing platform, software updates, and eDelivery’s role in the dataspace ecosystem. More information and slides from the event are available here 

Given enthusiastic reviews from stakeholders, the eDelivery team has been working behind the scenes to prepare another touchpoint with the community. To this end, we are excited to announce that the date for the eDelivery Interoperability Forum has been set – the 27th of June 2023 at 11:00 CEST! The event will take place in a virtual format, and more information (along with the registration link) are available on this page 

As the eDelivery team received an overwhelming number of comments, feedback and requests from its stakeholders, the next edition of the Forum will be crafted around the needs of the eDelivery community! The meeting will be an invaluable chance for service and solution providers to express their views, suggestions and best practices around future activities organised by the team. The eDelivery team is looking forward to growing the number of participants to the Forum! If you are a service and solutions provider and would like to be a point of contact for the Forum, you can applyhere.  More information on past editions of the eDelivery Interoperability Forum is available  here. 

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 data exchange. It is based on the eDelivery AS4 profile, an open technical specification for the secure, web-based, payload-agnostic exchange of data or documents.   

DomiSMP is the sample software provided by the European Commission to implement an eDelivery Service Metadata Publisher 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.   

DomiSMLis the sample software provided by the European Commission to implement an eDelivery Service Metadata Locator 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, and on the PEPPOL SML Specification, a technical specification defining a BDXL administration API.
