>Hi all. >What are EDIFACT tags? please specify ansy site. >Can EDIFACT tags be converted to self describing tags. >Please give me details. >Thanks >Alan 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...
