Gene, A remarkably strong point! And of course the focus of ebXML.
In the past X12 and EDIFACT developed IMPDEF as a neutral means for internally representing message standards. It was moderately successful, but definately pointed the way in the right direction. Now as part of the ebXML work - we have developed the assembly specifications - using XML - that transcends this all and provides a robust open mechanism that all vendors can support. Assembly empowers business users to build message interchanges without having to be a hardcore programmer - and allows interoperability across implementations by using simple XML constructs. I had previously noted that we will be able to share the draft specifications with the group after the upcoming ebXML meetings in Geneva in a couple of weeks. Thanks, DW. ================================================================ Message text written by "XMLEDI Group" > I do not think the question here is 'products' ... rather message standards that will operated in any 'product'.
