EDI to XML

Wed May 13 23:29:34 BST 1998

     I am new to the XML world, but do lot of EDI-VAN based transactions 
     with our trading community & in a process of defining long-term 
     strategy to do these transactions over the Web/internet.

     I have started hearing that XML is a replacement of EDI over the Web. 
     could anyone suggest me, how XML would be used to replace EDI in terms 
     of what all componenets/tools, steps to be taken in developers & 
     planners point of view. Is that some product available in the market 
     which could be used now etc.

     any comment would be appreciated.

     -Arun V.

I'm pleased to announce that my list of XML software is now available 
in categorized form with descriptions at

<URL:http://www.stud.ifi.uio.no/~larsga/linker/XMLtools.html>

For those of you who have made the software on this list: I'm trying 
out an experimental auto-update feature with this list. If you want me 
to be automatically notified when you release a new version of your 
software (or when it moves to a new URL) you can now achieve that by 
writing 6 lines of XML about your product and putting it online. The 
necessary auto-update software is already written and tested, so you 
can start using this immediately.

I may eventually make a Java client (or a CGI script) which end-users 
can run to be informed of new releases of chosen products, but for the 
moment that's just an idea.

Further instructions (with DTD and an example file) are available from
