Implementation Support
Implementing UNTP successfully depends on more than reading the specification. This page brings together the practical resources available to organisations at any stage of implementation — whether you are still assessing scope or actively building and testing.
Community Support Channels
UNTP is developed and maintained as an open standard, and the community around it is the primary source of implementation support. Two channels are available:
Slack — The UN/CEFACT Slack workspace includes a dedicated UNTP channel where implementers, specification authors, and community members exchange questions, experience, and guidance. This is the fastest route to practical help. Join the Slack workspace.
GitLab — The UNTP specification and open source reference implementations are hosted on GitLab. Issues, questions, and contributions can be raised directly in the repository. This is the appropriate channel for technical questions about the specification itself, bug reports, and proposed changes. Visit the GitLab repository.
Finding Compatible Software and Services
The Implementations Register records organisations that have declared intent to implement or have active UNTP implementations. Three registers are relevant to organisations looking for compatible solutions and partners:
- Software Solutions — commercial and open source software products with UNTP support, including implementation scope and test status.
- Conformity Schemes — scheme owners whose conformity criteria are digitally referenceable within UNTP credentials.
- Identifier Registers — identity register operators that have implemented the UNTP Identity Resolver and Digital Identity Anchor specifications.
- Community Extensions - current community UNTP extensions
Registering your own implementation — even at the intent stage — makes your organisation discoverable to potential pilots and partners.
Mailing List
For less time-sensitive announcements, working group updates, and community news, the UNTP mailing list provides a lower-frequency alternative to Slack.
