Practical exercises #20

  1. Follow some (or all!) of these EDI links. Try and find some more information on the EDIFACT standards -- for example, can you discover more details of the EDIFACT message structure? What about ANSI X.12? More interesting: what can you discover about the XML/EDI project?

  2. What was ODA (mentioned in the first slide of the lecture) and why has it disappeared?

  3. Are you aware of any local businesses who use EDI on a regular basis? What have their experiences been? Is it worth the effort?

This set of practical exercises accompanies Tutorial #20.
