Plenary Workshop 27th June 2002

Project Team Progress Report

Project Management and General Issues

Phil Blythe

Objectives

• To extend the use of the CEN ISSS URI Workshop agreement CWA 13987: 2000 to multi-application smart cards

• To engage key players and organisations in the CWA

• To research and review key documents, related standards and technologies

• To Deliver a CWA in 3 parts

Project Team

• Attending Workshop:– Phil Blythe– Chris Makemson– Peter Tomlinson– Chris Wrathall

• Apologies– Jaap Akkermans

• Withdrawn from Team– Mads Henriksveen

Progress Report

• Revised eURI Business Plan produced after Workshop Meeting of 17th January 2002

• Allocation of Work Item Leaders and main authors for each Item

• Resources allocated - left a number of days unallocated at this stage

• Revised schedule devised and written into Business Plan

Progress Report

• Some initial difficulties with the start up of Work Items 2 and 3

• Resolved at Project Team Meeting on 3rd and 4th April 2002

• It was reported at the last workshop it was reported that Mads Henriksveen has reduced his role in the project (due to unforeseen changes in job responsibilities) and has relinquished authorship of the Part 1 specification. This fact has also delayed some of the research work in Work Item 3.

Progress Report

• Part of the revised deal with Mads was that he would attend the project team meeting scheduled for the 15-16th May 2002 and deliver a final version of WI3

• In discussion with the project team and then with CEN it was decided to ask Mads to withdraw from the project team

• To complete the research work on card management schemes the PT sub-contracted the DataCard Group to fill part of the knowledge gap left by Mads departure

Work Items

• WI 1: Project Management (PB)• WI 2: Evaluation of Multi-Application Smart

Card products (PT)• WI 3: Evaluation of Card Management

Schemes (PB - originally MH)• WI 4: Development of Part 1 (PT - originally

MH)• WI 5: Development of Part 2 (CW)• WI 6: Development of Part 3 (CM)• WI 7: Promotion and Marketing (JA)

CWA Final Deliverables

• Part 1: Formal Extended URI Specification (Normative)

• Part 2: Extended URI Implementation Guidelines (Informative)

• Part 3: Card Associations and the Extended URI (Informative)

Progress So far:Documents Delivered by 27/04/02• Design Proposal for WI 2 (Multi-Application

Smart Card Products).• From WI 3 Analysis of MULTOS Platform with

respect to the eURI. (we have identified 5 platforms which we will analyse).

• WI 4-6 have each produced a draft table of contents for Parts 1 to 3 respectively of the WSA - for discussion and to try an scope out the work of the PT

• A publicity plan has been produced Under WI7

Progress so Far:Documents delivered for 27/06/02

• Research Report Work Items WI2 and WI3• WI3 Research Report: Management of User

Related Information on Multi-Application Smart Cards

• WI 4: Initial draft of Part 1• WI 5: Initial draft of Part 2• WI 6: Initial draft of Part 3

Issues

• No standardisation body is addressing the issue of identifying card platforms (could also be used to identify the presence of the eURI - as a common resource)

Issues

• Raise the point that we are considering microprocessor cards (as they fully support multi-applications). Will this exclude the Transport Sector who almost exclusively use memory smart cards??

• We need input on user requirements from the Workshop. Are approaching PTEG, RNIB and ANEC - also need input from TB8.

• Have not been able to make fruitful contacts with TB4 (Terminals) yet - seem only interested in FINNREAD

Issues

• Final Point:– we are receiving a lot of interest in the eURI work

from many quarters. This, however, is not being reflected in the membership and attendance of the Workshop Plenary Meetings.

– What can we all do to redress this?

Research Tasks: Work Items WI2 and WI3; and

WI 4: Draft of Part 1

Peter Tomlinson

WI2, WI3, WI4 June 2002Status

WI2 and WI3 now both managed by PWT

WI2 Research Report submitted

WI3 Research submitted in 2 sections:

1. Part included with WI2

2. Separate report sourced from Datacard

WI4 ... Is running slightly late

WI2, WI3, WI4 June 2002Research Report summary

Card platforms built to open specifications: only viable product families for multi-application are those based on:

– Global Platform / Open Platform / Java Card– Multos

Proprietary platforms will continue to have important sectors of the market

– ISO style– Java cards

WI2, WI3, WI4 June 2002Research Report summary

URI Implementation on cards

Now: as application or applet on cards– Without difficulties

Later: at card platform level– Standards not adequate– Linked to providing standard way of identifying card

platforms

WI2, WI3, WI4 June 2002Research Report summary

Dataset– Basic dataset to have global validity– Extensions for ‘Card Communities’– Implement as constructed data objects– Recognise existing standards (reference them)– CEN/ISSS to be requested to become the ISO Tag

Allocation Authority for the URI

Draft Table of Contents Part 2 (WI 5)

Chris Wrathall

Extended URI: WI5Review of CWA 13987:2000 – Part 2•New structure: Stand-alone / Networked•Review actors (as per Part 3)•Front-end processes only – no back office?•Security – URI for billing purposes?•Integrate URI management proposals (BR)•URI Generic Data Storage and Retrieval Options – here or in Part 1?•Extensions to the initial implementation – here or in Part 1?•Anything else?

Extended URI: Links with TB7 (the silver-tongued Business Plan)The workshop will form links with eEurope Smart Card Charter Trailblazer 7 in order that: the largest group of interested parties can be assembled as members without overloading them with too many meetings and dual activities  duplication of work can be minimised convergence of ideas takes place leading to the development of a common approach by the two projects and the adoption of the Extended URI as part of the common recommendations of the Smart Card Charter Steering Committee.

Draft Table of Contents Part 3 (WI6)

Chris Makemson

Publicity and Marketing (WI7)

Jaap Akkermans

Elements of PR plan•Fact sheet•Simple logo to recognise workshop activity•Website at UNINFO

– general + meetings + primer + specs + application perspective + presentations given

•Three URI-scenarios– transport / city cards / education / payment?– multimedia modules for in presentations ?

•RfC for scenarios– comments + changes

•New presentation prepared for eESC Madrid•Additional resources allocated to WI7

Interest in the eURI is high• NERSC committed to use eURI• IMAGE project had a 2 day meeting at CEN to

discuss using the eURI as a profiler for accessing intelligent mobility agents delivering transport and tourism information to mobile platforms.

• Various conference and other meetings have been used to promote the eURI

• A number of papers are being produced to support this task

• Need to link to ENV 13334 as this is being revised at the moment by CEN TC224/WG6

Final comment on Progress

• We have had difficulties in finalising the research items however we have now achieved this and produced some excellent documentation to be used as background for parts 1 to 3.

• TB 7 have been less useful than we anticipated

• Drafts of parts 1, 2 and 3 now available. • Part 1 will be completed by mid-July (Parts 2

and 3 cannot progress without this.• We are largely on-track
