Scope
This Publicly Available Specification specifies a representation of information associated with the surface (marine, highway, rail) transportation of cargo and personnel. It supports the following:
— definition of information required to be exchanged in the building and operation of transportation equipment throughout its life cycle (see Figure 1);
— definition of information required to be exchanged in the commercial operation of transportation equipment and the movement of cargo (see Figure 2).
Design Production Technical operation —- Commercial operation Disposal
Regulatory process including safety, environment, and security
Figure 1 — Transportation equipment life cycle
Cargo booking Delivery to carrier Transport of cargo Customs clearance Delivery to consignee
Regulatory process including port state control, flag state control and security checking
Figure 2 — Cargo transportation process
This Publicly Available Specification identifies the information that may be exchanged in both the production and operation of the assets needed in the transportation process as well as the information needed in the commercial transportation process and the regulatory information relating to each. Asset procurement and operation, as well as commercial transactions, are needed to support international trade. Continuous exchange of information between the equipment operators and the commercial operators are part of the transportation process. The above diagrams show the various processes and stages involved with maritime and intermodal transportation requiring data exchange.
This Publicly Available Specification is applicable to the implementation of databases and data warehouses that enable data sharing among the various participants in the transportation process.
The purpose of the Data Dictionary definitions is to allow the mapping of data that relates to the base definitions, with multiple occurrences of the data within industry and government databases.
