Jean-Luc: I need to clarify a few things: 1). I'm not trying to sell you anything. I am just describing a solution offering that we have implemented. I'm a technician by trade. 2). The Netfish DTD's are not used for organizations to trade documents. The Netfish DTD's are used for our transformers which transform data to X12/EDIFACT flat file formats so that one could trade documents with those organizations who are staying with their EDI implementations in the immediate term. Again, the DTD's are used for the internal processing of data and would not be published to your trading partner community in our specific case. We do this to allow one to trade in the trading partner community with those who are adamant about staying with their EDI software solution. 3). I am responding to a number of requests from those who have asked to see our DTD's. 4). I too await standardization and do not wish to develop DTD's for multiple formats and also develop Schemas when the DTD's die. This costs lots of money and time. 5). I am just as concerned about economies of scale as you or any other organization. We do not wish to re-invent the wheel each time a new standard is released.
