I am new to XML I did some reading on it . When I compare that with EDI. We are
still going to have a data type dictionary similar to EDI standards like each
qualifier in X12 is represented as a data type element in XML . We cannot avoid
the traslators. One advantage is we can view the data through XSL but how does
it benifit a large organisation? Only major cost we reduction is eleminating
the VANS. But are we not moving from a secured VANS to Insecure Internet?
when your are opening your system to customers data is there not a chance for
hackers gain access to your system by gaining access to the customers system?
Even though XML looks colorful and a new technology whats going to happen to the
value the VANS add? ex. Syntax checking, Line drops etc.

Subject: To XML or EDI...
Having just attended a 3 day XML training class, I can certainly see where XML
has a place in the future. However, aside from eliminating the cost of the EDI
translator I still think we'll face many of the same problems we faced with EDI.
And some of the XML related software isn't cheap either. I sometimes find
myself waxing nostalgic over those long BSI threads that Ken Steel would get
started ; - )
