Connect and learn: Join eDelivery events in 2024

The eDelivery calendar for 2024 year is packed with opportunities to learn and to connect! Read on for an overview of the events planned for the next year. You can sign up straight away to be informed about them here.

Of course, we will continue our long-standing community events, the eDelivery interoperability Forum and the eDelivery Informal Cooperation Network meetings.

The eDelivery Interoperability Forum is a platform for software and service vendors to connect with the eDelivery team and to exchange ideas, ensuring that products using eDelivery are interoperable! For this reason, a close exchange with private-sector eDelivery solutions is invaluable. Topics that will be following us through 2024 will range from discussing the interoperability of the eDelivery AS4 2.0 and SMP 2.0 specifications, the finalisation of how we present and promote conformant solutions and many more. Apart from the network meetings on 29 February, 18 April and 24 October 2024, there will also be an interoperability event (read here), so keep your eyes peeled for updates! Sign up to become a member of the network and receive the calendar invitations if you think joining these conversations would benefit you and us!

The eDelivery Informal Cooperation Network provides an opportunity for Member States to connect and get the latest policy updates. Members of the Network are closely involved with the implementation of eDelivery projects at national level and can therefore serve as contact points for eDelivery implementations in their country. We are looking forward to have meetings with eDelivery ICN members on 15 May (remote) and 26 November (remote) 2024. We are still adding members to the network – if you think you should be part of it, please register here.


In 2024 the eDelivery team will provide a wealth of learning opportunities for everyone to join!

For the more implementation-minded (soon-to-be) users of eDelivery, there will be webinars and additional how-to videos published providing in-depth insights and useable knowledge.

The eDelivery team will present the latest upgrades and functionalities of the Commission’s sample implementation of eDelivery in the form of instructional how-to videos. The first one will be available as soon as 19 March, expanding on the use and possibilities of DomiSMP 4.2. The second how-to video will provide you with a chance to learn about new features of Domibus 5.1 and 5.2 and it will be available in the Q4 2024.

This year's webinars will talk about what is possible with Dynamic Discovery on 26 September and you will have the opportunity to learn about eDelivery Trust Models in depth in 2025.


You are thinking about using eDelivery? Join our Value Proposition Webinar to find out about other users’ experience! 

Owing to the success of the previous Value Proposition Webinar, in which people shared their experience of using eDelivery to power large digital ecosystems, we will have a second Value Proposition Webinar on 12 December. This time it will be Member States sharing their experience of using eDelivery from a national perspective!  

 

We are very much looking forward to connecting with you and sharing information over the course of 2024. If you are looking for further learning opportunities, we recommend browsing our website and also having a look at the recordings of previous webinars. 

Please note that the calendar for 2024 is subject to change.

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.
