Using XML for Electronic Data Interchange
The following stages are involved in using XML for the interchange of commercial EDI messages:
identification of suitable data sets for electronic business transactions
development of XML document type definitions (DTDs) that formally define the relationships of the fields that are to form a particular class of EDI messages
the definition of application specific extensions to standard message types the creation of instances of specific types of electronic business message the validation of the contents of messages
the transmission and receipt of electronic business messages a the processing of electronic business messages using DataBots.
An application does not need to use all of the levels of processing shown in Figure 1 and the above list: it can stop at whichever level in the hierarchy that suits it. For example, an application can confine itself to checking incoming and outgoing EDI messages using a document object model that has been formally defined in an XML DTD.
