Hi Alan,

EDIFACT (actually UN/EDIFACT see later) is an EDI standard, which conveys
information in pre-determined 'segments'. The segments each have a segment
'tag' (not to be confused with xml-tags!) which acts as a record ID.

These segments are NOT self defining, a big part of getting EDIFACT to work
is the 'dictionary' of segments.

You could think of UN/EDIFACT as being a *slightly* smarter form of a CSV
file, with delimited fields and sub-fields.

You could convert UN/EDIFACT to xml style tags and DTD's - search for 'XML
EDI'
or try http://www.geocities.com/WallStreet/Floor/5815/guide.htm

Hope this sheds some light...
Anton
