Objectives

The Edig@s Workgroup decided to implement EDI messages to:

  • Reduce the number of different messages currently used;
  • Achieve a more efficient and more flexible way of handling the dispatching activities;
  • Allow a faster reaction to a changed working environment.

The EDI standard selected for those messages is the UN/EDIFACT standard and starting from Edig@s version 4 we introduced the XML standard.
