 Hi
The company I am
employed by is in the development phase of a new project for the export/trade
and transport industry in Australia. Our company is a systems integration and
application development company with some 20 years experience in EDI and
messaging systems. The project is a web portal for the industry that offers a
range of export related services - online, web based documentation - regulatory,
commercial, transport etc, monitoring and tracking of consignments and online
training. The key is to allow all members of the export supply chain to be able
to communicate and exchange information with each other. We are keen on taking
an XML approach to this but dont have much experience in this area. I have
noticed that Bolero have their own type of XML where they have made all the
trade and transport docs DTD's available for download from their site. I also
have have read that Rosetta and ebXML are focussed on the supply chain and B2B
type transactions. I am, concerned that if we lock into one system we then will
have problems easily communicating with those that have chosen another. This is
a global application so we need to be aware of whats going on all around the
world. I wonder what the best approach is to this - do we accept that we will
have to support multiple standards? If we go with Bolero and ebXML will
that cover off 95% of all our potential connection requirements? DO we create
our own XML std?
Does anyone else
work in this particular area of International Trade that has some ideas about
the best way to address this multiple stds problem?
Any advice will be
appreciated - as long as its not too rude!
