Abstract: Abstract The Food Living Lab (Food LL) was a research project centred on export of dairy products. Dairy products are organic products that are intended as human food. As such, when they are exported, dairy products become the concern of a wide range of governmental agencies. Apart from customs, agencies for health, veterinary, agriculture, taxation, and statistics put information requirements on the dairy exporter. With Arla Foods as case company, the Food LL made a descriptive investigation on the total information requirements and associated administrative burden on a pan-European exporter of dairy products. The Food LL outlined a scenario that would keep or even improve the control of Arla’s export process but significantly lower the administrative burden put on the trader. The new scenario was built upon the idea of all actors using a common data model and a central hub for information exchange instead of setting up non-aligned connections between all information exchanging actors. Using a common data model following the UN/CEFACT guidelines for data modelling and a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), the Food LL developed a software prototype that serves as a proof of concept, verifying that the envisioned scenario meets all requirements.
