MANAGEMENT SUMMARY

SPR provided one of his most recent books "Advances in Construction ICT and e-Business" 
by S Perera, B Ingirige, K Ruikar, E Obonyo published 2017 from an impressive list of over 
360 articles and publications from 1978 to illustrate his background and knowledge of EDI 
and e-Business

SPR introduced Samudaya NANAYAKKARA [SNK] and Amer HIJAZI [AHJ] as Doctoral Research 
Candidates in "Blockchain in Construction" applications

SGG provided his background on Electronic Information Interchange [EII] with the Rational 
Universal Business Automation Code [RUBAC] Information Management Methodology as an 
ASCII Coding Structure that complied with the requirements of the Organisation for the 
Advancement of Structured Information Standards [OASIS] for XML Applications

In Sep 1987 the Yankee Group report on "EDI in Australia" stated that "RUBAC was way 
beyond EDI"

SGG explained that RUBAC was developed from an Office Automation background where 
each business process was coded with a code given to each form eg quotation is "a" and an 
order is "b"

Hence at meetings to sign contracts all those involved with the contract provide their forms 
with terms and conditions either electronically on USB so they are stored on both supplier and 
customer systems so that only the variable information such as part number and quantity has 
to be sent electronically

In 1988 the RUBAC EII methodology received over 15 letters of support from EDI Proponents

In 1990 the UK British Standards Institute [BSI] entered into a joint venture to research how 
RUBAC could be used to manage the 450 BSI Committees that produced over 1,000,000
pieces of paper distributed world-wide each year for minutes and reports

This joint venture provided the impetus for the implementation of Electronic Committee 
Information Management [ECIM] by the Open Interchange Consortium in 1994

In 1997 members of the Open Interchange Consortium [OIC] had funded, developed and 
implemented an XML based "Electronic Association Information Management" [EAIM] system 
using the RUBAC methodology

In 1998 members of the OIC specified and developed an XML Y2K Compliance Certification 
Process [OIC Y2KRAMP] for Small and Medium-size Enterprises [SMEs] to provide On-line 
evidence of Y2K Compliance progress

This application was developed to provide SMEs with an On-line "Resource Asset 
Management Process" after the Y2K issue had been resolved

In Jun 1999 the King of Sweden presented the 1st Prize in the "IT for SME" Category for this 
application at the prestigious Global Bangemann Challenge awards in Stockholm

Also in 2000 OIC members specified, developed and implemented the OIC XML Tender 
Information Management System [TIMS]

TIMS provided market intelligence reports by Industry and Application of over 18,500 Federal, 
State and Local Government tenders between 2000 - 2007

In 2001 the Federal Department of Employment, Workplace Relations and Small Business 
joined the OIC to commission a joint-venture On-line questionnaire project with 175 NSW 
Local Government Agencies

14:15	Overview of EC-BSG Challenge 			Stephen GOULD

The meeting agreed:

A	current Blockchain applications consume unsustainable amounts of electricity 

B	Small and Medium-size Enterprises [SMEs] are critical players in Blockchain 
	Applications in the Construction industry as many of the specific skills are tradesmen 
	and niche industry experts

C	The proposed UNDP Zamia Refugee construction project to provide running water 
	and sanitation to two (2) Zambia Refugee camps was a very suitable project as there 
	were no conflicting partner issues and it was a "Social Good" project

D	SNK and AHJ said current ISO standards had been superseded in many areas

E	SGG said rt was worth using the current ISO Standards in the 12 identified 
	construction fields as a base-line as these ISO Standards would be applicable to 
	countries like Zambia and other developing nations

F	There was an issue with the proposed timetable as SPR was involved with overseas 
	visits until end of Jun and SNK and AHJ were involved with Confirmation of 
	Candidate [CoC] plans until early Jul

G	SGG believes that other resources could research the ISO standards during the Apr-
	Jun so that SNK and AHJ can then oversee that research from Jul onwards and 
	document why and where some of the ISO standards had been superseded

H	SPR said that the funding for membership would probably not be available until Jul 
	2019

I	SGG said the submissions have to have reach the TRL 7 [Technology Readiness 
	Levels] which is "System prototype demonstration in operational environment" 

J	If a Memorandum of Understanding [MoU] is agreed at the next meeting on 22 Apr 2019 
	then that should be sufficient to start the project until SNK and AHJ were available 
	and SPR had returned from his other commitments

K	SGG said funding was also available for H2020 projects hence accurate records were 
	required for the project

L	SGG said Standards Australia had changed its Business Model in 2009 hence it was 
	worth reviewing the changes on Wikepedia as SAI Global had taken over all the State 
	Government Land and Property Information departments and was now owned by 
	Baring Private Equity Asia

M	RUBAC projects provided long-term Intellectual Property Royalties [IPR] similar to 
	the new Standards Australia business model
