Purpose and Goal of the XML/EDI Guidelines
The goal of XML/EDI is to deliver unambiguous and durable business transactions through electronic means. To achieve this requires the use of a methodology that is not only extensible enough to meet the future requirements but also adaptable enough to incorporate new technologies and requirements as they emerge The Extensible Markup Language (XML) developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) provides such a f reely available, widely transportable, methodology for well controlled data interchange.
XML was originally designed for the exchange of information in the form of computer displayable "documents". Not all commercial data is interchanged in a displayable format. In particular data designed for electronic data interchange typically needs to be processed before it can be displayed. For this to be possible the data must be mapped, using some form of template, to a set of processing rules. These XML/EDI guidelines provide a standardized way in which such rule templates can be added to interchanged data.
