Trade Finance is a generic term, used for denoting the activity associated
with defining, controlling and settling the transfer of funds, usually on an
international basis, against the delivery of goods.
 
It tends to be extremely 'heavy' in terms of onerous and detailed
contractual/documentary requirements, which require review and update, at
each stage of potentially a long series of individual steps involved in
delivering goods against payment on an international basis.
 
There have been several attempts to standardise the documentation and
processes associated with trade finance, some of which I believe are still
ongoing, however I am currently unaware of any attempt to use XML as a
descriptive mechanism, hence the question....

Does anyone know of any initiatives using XML in the field of trade finance?
