This event is organized in collaboration between the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), the Government of Turkmenistan, and other partners. It is part of the work plan of the SPECA Chairmanship of Turkmenistan in 2025 and part of the implementation of the SPECA “Roadmap for the digitalization of multimodal data and document exchange along the Trans-Caspian transport corridor, using United Nations legal instruments and standards”. It focuses on the port-to-port data exchange across the Caspian Sea. The problem to tackle is the fragmentation of digitalization efforts in supply chains along the Trans-Caspian corridor and other SPECA corridors. The solution we suggest is to map and/or align data in flows of information about cargo moved along multimodal digital trade and transport corridors to the global semantic standards and Multimodal Transport Reference Data Model (MMT RDM) maintained by the United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT).
