`The Challengedifferent ways, different schemas, different format and with
different levels of definitions
• Language Difference:– Stock: Inventory, Good, Manufactured or in transit– Stock: Financial bond or instrument
• Wording differences (of “123456-7x”:):– Product Number– Product Reference Number– Article Number
• Structure Differences:– EDI: ORDERS/LIN/C1001/1256=IT+[Article Identifier]– XML: <Product><Reference><Number>…– XML: <Article><ReferenceNumber>
Industrial concerns
• How can I keep my own semantics without being forced to use those of others?
• Why do I need to invest and keep track of standards when I have neither the time nor money?
• How can I link the semantics of my messages with that of my customers without paying huge consultancy fees?
• How can I create new data structures which are based on real world use rather than standards theory?
• How is it possible I can trade with any party with minimal reconfiguration no matter what their country, language?
• Can you present me something whereby I can utilise any data structure (EDI, XML…) yet the semantic knowledge is retained?
• How can i easily access and share all the information in the network

Existing Standards form sets of inputs but they are not a reference but
IF good enough they can be
Standards which arnt used by the market arnt
standards
If you feel lost and isolated search the
existing STASIS community for
semantics/structures you do know
The more links you have the more certainty you
have of making semantic pathways
Semantics become Competitive – The more
people use you...the more people that will use
you
