BII focus on exchange of information between business partners. This brings in scope all electronic communication between a contracting authority and an economic operator. Back-office information processing, like the evaluation of tenders, is out of scope.To ensure interoperability each electronic communication will be described as follows:- A procurement procedure guideline identifies the position of the transactions in a procedure - A choreography describes the sequence of transactions - A transaction describes all information elements exchanged between business partners - A syntax implementation guideline (SIG) provides the syntax bindings needed to implement the transaction.
