Abstract

The Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation wishes to establish the necessary services needed in a national service oriented architecture. A key piece of technology in this vision is a hierarchy of addressing services based on registries.The ministry will register all public sector institutions with their UBL-based1 invoice services in a master registry. This guarantees a critical mass of public sector institutions and offers a good value proposition to the SME's. Not only can they send all invoices to the public sector electronically but they also have the ability to send electronic invoices to other private companies registered in the registry.The ministry believes that this solution will demonstrate the advantages of a service oriented architecture [1] and infrastructure based on registries and that this demonstration will generate the broad use of registries for other services.The proposed solution [2] consists of elements normally associated with a web service architecture. What differentiates this proposal is not the content but the approach to lowering barriers by limiting implementation choices and ensuring a critical mass of service providers.
