You've hit the nail on the head. Coordinating business processes and data
semantics are with us regardless of underlying technology. Treating them as
out of scope *in discussions about transport and mapping* is therefore
completely appropriate.
Well that nail anyway. We don't use BSI here, I've never heard about it
from our trading partners, so it remains an academic exercise. I am still
keeping half an eye open for a way to use it in a business relationship that
would benefit from automation but is not a candidate for our conventional
EDI efforts. It remains the superior solution to the problem, in my mind.
