Is EDI replaced by XML? a point of view

Extensible Markup Language (XML) has become the alternative choice for
defining data interchange formats in new eBusiness applications on the Internet
in the last few years. However, EDI implementations embody substantial
experience in business processes, and companies with large investments in EDI
integration will expect measurable ROI for the IT investment.
XML enables more open, more flexible business transactions than EDI. XML
might enable more flexible and innovative "eMarketplace" business models than
EDI. The ebXML specifications provide a framework in which EDI's substantial
investments in business processes can be preserved in an architecture that
leverages XML's new technical capabilities.
By addressing the problem from the standpoint of business workflow, ebXML
technical architecture specifications standardizes common business processes as
objects. A cornerstone of ebXML architecture was allowing these objects to
be reused so that ebXML could provide for the means to unify cross-industry
exchanges with a single consistent dictionary of business terms.
