If its possible to agree on Predicates
and Schema
for
XML::Edifact and to code it, it should be possible to inherit
from this schema to map a lean XML/EDI to XML::Edifact and therefor
to UN/EDIFACT.
Think about following vapor ware message:
<newbooks:orders>
<party
qualifier="supplier"
id="0123456789"
name="Missing Link"
/>
<party
qualifier="customer"
id="9876543210"
name="Michael Koehne"
/>
<reference
date="Wed Jun 23 18:47:27 1999"
number="234"
/>
<item
number="1"
isbn="0-12-345678-9"
author="anon"
title="the book never written"
publisher="nowhere press"
/>
</newbooks:bookorder>
Compared to the lengthly messages XML::Edifact produces, this lean format may be better suited for transfer on the Internet. If newbooks now provides a RDF for his lean XML/EDI mapping between newbooks:orders and edifact:orders can be done.
