Data Dictionary for Global Insurance Industry
Version October 6, 2005

This is the public release of a harmonized data dictionary for the insurance industry by ACORD, eEG7 and CSIO. This marks the completion of efforts by this international coalition of standards bodies to harmonize their existing data dictionaries as part of a United Nations initiative.
This new data dictionary provides the technology neutral, reusable building blocks that serve as the basis for the development of messages for all lines of insurance business. The common data elements and their definitions have been identified and harmonized to one element name and definition for each concept such as 'coverage', 'risk object' or 'claim'. This dictionary will facilitate information exchanges for placing, claims processing, accounting, and more.
These elements are the core components used by the individual standards organizations to build their specific standards for their individual communities and geographies. The data dictionary forms the solid foundation on which to build standards and ensure interoperability. All parties noted that their individual insurance data standards will continue to be developed with an eye to these new international definitions.
The associations submitted this harmonized data dictionary to UN/CEFACT (United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business), providing them with already agreed upon international insurance industry data elements and definitions. UN/CEFACT is creating a methodology for achieving interoperable standards within and across business sectors including among others insurance, finance, transport, and healthcare.
