XML and EDI standards

[COKOL]

Hello,

I'm not quite sure of the question you're asking about XML/EDI standards.

If you'd care to repost a specific question, I'd be happy to help

However, here are some URLs to websites that deal specifically with XML/EDI:

Thanks

In addition, Here a quick explaination of what XML/EDI is:

XML, the eXtensible Markup Language, is a syntax for use in web environment. It is being developed by the World Wide Web Consortium.

However, XML/EDI is the present attempt to combine the best features of traditional EDI (Electronic Data Interface) with the improvements in technology offered by XML. It is EDI with XML, or XML with EDI - depending on the perspective.

In an XML/EDI message the EDI information is explicitly labelled using tag names. Reference may be made via Internet to a Document Type Definition (DTD) - which contains structure declaration and relevant sets of code values.

Web browsers are expected to support XML, therefore XML/EDI messages. Like EDI messages, XML/EDI messages could be transmitted in any way: e-mail, VAN, Internet etc.
