A cornerstone of the [UN/CEFACT](/source/UN/CEFACT) standardisation activities is the Core Component Technical Specification (CCTS). Core Components are the syntax-neutral and technology-independent building blocks that can be used for [data modeling](/source/Data_modeling). Major benefits of CCTS include improved reuse of existing data artifacts, improved [enterprise interoperability](/source/Enterprise_interoperability), and consistency across vertical industry standards.

Related work includes the [OASIS CAM](/source/OASIS_CAM) specification and OASIS Registry Repository specification.
