William, As a progressive eBusiness professional who stays informed about both bleeding edge and leading edge technologies, you've missed an important fact about the core components technical specification, a.k.a CCTS. The correct ISO designation is ISO 15000-5. The ISO 15000 designation is the general title Electronic business eX-tensible Mark-up Language, and includes four parts including 15000-1, ebXML Collaborative Partner Profile, 15000-2 Messaging Service Specification, 15000-3, Registry Information Model, and 15000-4 Registry Services Specification. Since GEFEG software supports CCTS, I just happen to be working on a quick start guide and have these details at hand. WRT CICA, it includes the CCTS Core Component Types (CCT's), however, it does not fully comply with the CCTS specification.
A few days ago, you mentioned UBL (Universal Business Language). UBL version 1.0 was approved as an OASIS standard on November 8, 2004. It contains the closest set of data models and XML messages to fully comply with CCTS. Several government agencies internationally are working on UBL implementations. You can get more information about UBL from http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=ubl, and a free Reader to view the schema without having to own a XML Parser tool from GEFEG at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=ubl.

I meant that it's interesting that a U.S. company exclusively mandates UN/EDIFACT, rather than trying to please all by supporting ANSI X12 too. Focusing on UN/EDIFACT makes perfect sense in this global age. Actually, a half dozen years ago, X12 itself had a serious project underway to migrate to EDIFACT - if only to sunset the X12 syntax and start developing new transactions as EDIFACT messages. People started losing interest in that effort, I suppose, with the coming frenzy of XML in the late 1990's. Now, X12 is putting its new development efforts into XML-oriented core component based messaging with its CICA framework, which supposedly is compatible with ISO 15000 (a.k.a. ebXML Core Components Technical Specification).

I don't see it there anymore at their website. Fortunately, Cummins doesn't seem to put their EDI guidelines under "lockdown." You can find contact information and guidelines at http://www.cummins.com/suppliers/. It seems Cummins likes EDIFACT. That's interesting. William J. Kammerer Novannet, LLC. Columbus, OH 43221-3859 .
