ASTM’s digital information in the supply chain committee (F49) has begun a review of the most commonly used supply chain glossaries to compare with the Maritime Transportation Data Initiative (MTDI) Lexicon. "There are several overlapping vocabularies that support digitalization of cross border trade, including those from UN/CEFACT, WCO, GS1, IMO, IATA, ICC, and many more,” says Steven Capell, vice chair of the United Nations Center for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT). “While each organization has a different mandate and focus area, the overlaps remain. Mapping the overlaps via a common lexicon will release greater value to all supply chain actors by providing interoperability between overlapping vocabularies."

ASTM's Sara Gobbi, director of European affairs, was in Geneva this week presenting at the 34th UNECE: Working Party on Regulatory Cooperation and Standardization Policies (WP.6) Annual Session, alongside member states and partner organizations including ISO, IEC, ANSI, UNIDO, ITU, WTO and others. With a focus on education and engagement, Sara discussed ASTM's robust student programs and collaborations with UN agencies. Her insights shed light on the importance of education on standardization and the value of fostering partnerships in global cooperation. Many thanks to the WP6 Secretary, the Chair and Vice Chairs for the warm welcome and engaging three days of discussion and knowledge sharing.
