With This db EDIFACT messages can be parsed, translated and be

It is available somewhere?
I uploaded the current state of development [2]
A filled sqlite db is included.
Interresting even if I don't see why storing description of the format
in SQLite.
The specification is very voluminous and the tags and relations are not
easy to understand (If you look at the example invoice I added).
When the segment and group descriptions are easy available, it helps
a lot with exploring EDIFACT documents. If you look at the quick'n
dirty XML output you can read the invoice and understand the
content. Each EDIFACT directory has about 130 message types with
their own relations between the common segments (Take a look of the
invoice message specification [1]). I was trying to parse and
translate that by hand and became crazy. The approach is to create
self documenting message instances.
To fill your database, did you find a structured documenation of all
directories? All I can find is human plain text description.
No, I wrote a parser for the human plain text description.
