The ESPD Exchange Data Model is the technical representation of the legal European Single Procurement Document. It is used to support interoperability between ESPD services provided all over Europe.
Dear ESPD implementation community,
We are happy to inform you about the release of ESPD EDM version 2.0.2.
The ESPD EDM version 2.0.2 is now released and contains only bugs fixed on the basis of the received comments on GitHub. For further details please read the release notes. For further details please read the release notes. The release contains a definition of all relevant business rules and corresponding schematron files to validate Regulate and Self-Contained ESPD Request and Response XML instances (including the validation of the criteria taxonomy). The corresponding TestBed for version 2.0.2 has been set up. The specifications for version 2.0.2 contain an updated distribution of the ESPD Exchange Data Model and include a corresponding implementation guideline which clarifies the ESPD validation architecture in Annex I. Also, the BIS 41 โ ESPD version 2.0.2 was updated accordingly.
A release of criteria taxonomy file errata [ESPD EDM version 1.0.2] was necessary as the documentation on the criteria taxonomy was not updated to reflect the changes that were made to the Commission ESPD service up until July 2017. All corrections relate to the Criteria Data Flows and result in a revision of the criteria taxonomy for version 1.0.2 (revisions are marked within the sheet). No other change was done to the ESPD EDM version 1.0.2. The revisions should therefore have no impact on all current ESPD services based on v1.0.2 but we recommend using the revised criteria taxonomy to approve the correct Criteria Data Flows.
In order to support the ESPD implementation community in their efforts to establish ESPD services for version 2.0.x, we have planned another review period which will result in the release of ESPD EDM version 2.0.3 planned for the 30th of September. The release will concentrate on the removal of errors, improvements and editorial aspects. It is not planned to process any request for new features in this release. Please submit any issues on the GitHub before 31st of August so that we can process them. We are looking forward to receiving your issues and comments on GitHub in order to improve the overall ESPD specifications. For further project information please visit our GitHub repository.

I would like to use this chance to thank the CEF consortia ESPDint team for the great support in maintaining the ESPD data model. Without them it would have been much harder and they did in on top of their CEF engagement.
Best regards,
Marc-Christopher Schmidt
Bug fixes detected in the previous versions; change requests related to these bugs were collected in this Github Issues space (see Issues for the details. See also the Release Notes above and the 'dist/rn' folder for details on those issues related to v2.0.2 that have been closed).
The goal of version 2.0.0 is that the ESPD-EDM is self contained. Meaning that public buyers can specify directly in their ESPD services criteria instead of defining them in the procurement document or the notice. Examples are that the public buyer can specify the number of years needed for the turnovers, the financial ratios needed for the procedure or that they can specify certificates needed. Something else that will be implemented in version 2.0.0 is the possibility to weight criteria which is important to reduce the number of participants in a procedure. Issues for this release are in https://github.com/ESPD/ESPD-EDM/issues.
Version 1.0.2 has no impact on current implementation. It fixes the issue https://github.com/ESPD/ESPD-EDM/issues.
Very first version of the ESPD-EDM. Partially based on UBL 2.1.
The recommended way to get started using the exchange-model
in a Java
project is with a dependency management system.
<dependency>
<groupId>eu.europa.ec.grow.espd</groupId>
<artifactId>exchange-model</artifactId>
<version>1.0.2</version>
</dependency>
dependencies {
compile("eu.europa.ec.grow.espd:exchange-model:1.0.2")
}
Please note that this version requires Java 8
<dependency>
<groupId>eu.europa.ec.grow.espd</groupId>
<artifactId>exchange-model2</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
</dependency>
Version 2 of the Exchange Model
has a different artifactId
, i.e. exchange-model2
, in order to support
the usage of both versions at the same time inside a Java
Maven
project.
In order to use the snapshot version, you might have to enable the Maven
snapshot repository in your pom.xml
.
