	OBJECTIVES

	At the recent UN/CEFACT (United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business) Forum in Virginia
	USA from 13-17 Sep 2004 the presentation by Duane NICKULL Vice Chair UN/CEFACT and Chair of the OASIS SOA (Service 
	Oriented Architecture) Technical Committee identified a key issue for e-Business namely

	S16 "Need a newer architecture that accounts for electronic and paper trade facilitation" 

	This ITOL Funding Submission is to develop a prototype using a newer architecture that "will account for electronic
	and paper trade facilitation".

	The application for the prototype will be based on work already carried out by the consultant engaged by the Sydney
	Ports Corporation to ensure that Best Practice Management procedures are followed by Australian Ports in relation
	to Dangerous Cargoes

	The objectives are to develop a Dangerous Cargo Manifest that is accepted by all the members of the committee 
	formed by the Office of Transport Security [OTS] of the Australian Federal Government Department of Transport and 
	Regional Services [DOTARS]

		Consultant to the Sydney Ports Authority

	3 	deliver an eCommerce application that complies with the requirements of UN/CEFACT for the Asia-Pacific
