Hans, i am not aware of any large European retailer supporting RosettaNet. It seems the focal point at the moment is the US?

And they actually have a lot of implementations by now. This shows that when an industry sets out to do something and commit to it it will happen. You will find a lot of the Application Server vendors supporting RosettaNet and having a mapping utility for mapping i.e. RosettaNet.

A lot is industry-dependant, e.g. the Retail sector is characterised by few large retailers and a lot of small suppliers. Typically, the large retailers can force its suppliers to perform mappings, and/or to use a web/EDI application to bridge the two systems. In my opinion it mostly boils down to a negotiation process between exchanging parties. kind regards, Robin __________________ tectrade Robin Declercq Project Manager Tel. +32(0)50/30 30 30 www.tectrade.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Geoffrey Carter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: maandag 2 december 2002 12:57 To: XMLEDI Group Subject: Mapping A question - it is rare to be able to get both partners in an interchange to use the same schema / standard. Someone has to map. What is the view as to who should best do this? As a general rule I prefer to take a message in the format of the issuer and map to my schemas that tie in with my back-end processes. Similarly I prefer to send a message in my format and let the recipient map. Is there a "best practice" view amongst the group?
