PD CEN/TR 17419-2:2021

What is PD CEN/TR 17419-2 about? 

PD CEN/TR 17419-2 is the second part of multiple series that specifies a concrete REST web service API description of the processes and data (see EN 17419-1 for more information) as an OpenAPI definition specified by the OpenAPI specification. 

PD CEN/TR 17419-2 is a guide for organizations that want to implement the EN 17419-1:2020. Even more, the specification contained in EN 17419-1 can be directly implemented with OpenAPI tools that can automatically generate code, documentation and test cases. 

Who is PD CEN/TR 17419-2 for?  

PD CEN/TR 17419-2 on Implementation of EN 17419-1 in Open API 3.0 specification insurance industry is useful for: 

• Insurers and intermediaries 
• Web service provider 
• Media industry 

Why should you use PD CEN/TR 17419-2?  

PD CEN/TR 17419-2 exemplifies a concrete implementation of the EN 17419-1 as an OpenAPI specification. The OpenAPI syntax is published by the OpenAPI Initiative, an open-source collaboration project of the Linux Foundation, and is a specification for machine-readable interface files for describing, producing, consuming, and visualizing RESTful web services. 

EN 17419-1 will benefit you to implement the guide described in PD CEN/TR 17419-2 due to: 

• Uniform implementation of EN 17419-1 across the industry, based on a common technology.
• Avoidance of divergent implementations, thus avoiding incompatible digital interfaces between the stakeholders.
• Implementation for RESTful web services, a common micro-service technology.
• The specification in OpenAPI syntax is a common basis for the definition of RESTful web services.
• Automatic generation of code, documentation and test cases, based on OpenAPI tools.
• Facilitated implementation will accelerate the application of EN 17419-1.
• Facilitated implementation will accelerate the usage of EN 17419 by SMEs.

Therefore, PD CEN/TR 17419-2 guides you for the implementation of EN 17419-1 in OpenAPI tools which automatically generate code, documentation and test cases.
