The first thing that XML will have to have .. to dominate anything... will
be a common standardized vocabulary .. or the end user interface cost will
be extensive ... and Please .. do not relate EDI .. to VAN's .. or do you
have the ability to recognize the difference ..!!

My prediction, and I back it up with my investment in companies that work
with XML technology. The big boys of EDI will try hard to hold on to their
market. But I give them 5 years at the very most for them to have a
significant share of the EDI business. There is a great forward momentum of
XML development by many companies that I can see an end to traditional EDI.
We are in a new economy. It's wasteful to use traditional EDI. It's more
cost effective to use some form of EDI-XML. In the mean time some big
companies will be forced to use some form of middle ware between traditional
EDI and EDI-XML. But sooner than later XML will dominate the EDI market.
It is simply wasteful to use traditional EDI flavors.

There are a lot of XML systems available today. Some of them are easier to
use
than EDI systems
