Re: X12 CICA: Is it the future? Does anyone really "mod el"?
Thanks. I'm not gonna live forever. So I guess you're saying that if a
trading partner and I are willing to play around with XML now, that I
have nowhere to go for a usable PO other than UBL. There's the notion
of "time to market," pal. Is the XML e-business standards ship done
sailed as far as X12 is concerned?
I learned EDI by reading a couple PIDX and VICS books and looking at
their examples. I vaguely knew enough about the structure of X12 long
before I ever had to tackle X12.5 and X12.6 which described the syntax
using BNF. So I guess I don't want to have to read X12.7 and "imagine"
what a PO would look like. I want an XML schema or example now. Where
are some examples - even if incomplete - of XML messages based on CICA?
Thanks in Advance.

The approved X12.7 standard appears currently to only be available as
part
of 005020. I believe it may also be avaliable through other
channels. I'll post the details if I find out.

Sure you would have choices! You could create your own XML PO that
complied with those specs. But if you don't want to do that, I'm not
aware
at this point of any choices other than UBL. I'm sure UN/CEFACT, X12,
and
perhaps other bodies will be able to present you with other choices
eventually.
