Cori- "As a developer, I would much rather deal with only one DTD for all versions of X12 for all transactionsets" Your statement is true, if you only wanted to deal with the transformation of the data to/from XML to EDI. However, the Netfish Solution is much more than this. It gives one the power to create data maps using the Netfish XDI Mapper to adhere to Trading Partner Implementation Guidelines. Using the generic DTD solution where one DTD fits all, you cannot give control to the user to map data. So, not only do we at Netfish provide great workflow and superior RosettaNet support, we also provide excellent compatibility to trading partners who want to use EDI to trade with their entire trading partner community and create data maps to adhere to those trading partners Implementation Guidelines. Netfish has not just looked at the picture from a development standpoint. Netfish provides a complete customer oriented solution. For more information regarding Netfish, please see the Netfish website at www.netfish.com.
