Chris, The "left field" I was referring to was the UBL reference, etc. since UBL's focus is "to define a common XML library for basic business documents like purchase orders, invoices, and advance shipping notices." (Ref "UBL and Industry XML Standards, 2 April 2002")

If I understand the immediate task assigned to me, Dave, and Marcallee, however, it is to propose a list of data elements that we consider important in the "WEDI-SNIP CPP". I'm not sure I understand how am I getting off into "left field" with this? I'm sure it's buried in the email archive, but can you point me again to the draft "CPP/A specification"? I think what we are after here is just a list of data elements, but I would welcome any further light you can shed on the task I volunteered to help with a few weeks ago. William: Given the unwieldy nature of this email-narrative type knowledge we've accumulated over the last few months, what format would you suggest for group collaboration on some draft documents? I'm just now installing Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and I believe that it allows many people to mark up .pdf documents posted on a web site, using signed notes, etc. Is something like this feasible? The free .pdf reader would allow the whole group to read the document and the notes, but I think you'd have to have the full version of Acrobat to actually mark up the draft copy. I see a need to move this effort to a more organized level, starting with drafts of: 1. Mission and requirements list 2. Definitions of terms used in "addressing and routing" 3. Proposed data elements for the CPP record Thanks, -Chris At 04:42 PM 4/20/02 -0500, Rachel Foerster wrote: >Chris, it's very important that you get the most current specs (draft) on >the CPP/A specification to see what it specifies.
