- Description of Working Group:
-
- Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a set of protocols for conducting
- highly structured inter-organization exchanges, such as for making
- purchases. The working group will produce specifications for the use
- of EDI standards over the Internet, with an initial focus on the
- transport of EDI via Internet e-mail. The EDI community is large,
- diverse and well-established. This working group effort is explicitly
- NOT intending to specify or modify any of the details of EDI protocols
- themselves. Instead, it will focus on the requirements for proper
- carriage of EDI over the Internet, attending only to issues of
- encapsulation, addressing, security and the like.
-
- Initial efforts by the working group will focus on two deliverables:
- specification for the carriage of various EDI content via MIME-based
- e-mail, and a discussion document, considering issues in the use of
- EDI over the Internet. The usage document will cover such issues as
- addressing and security.
-
-
- Goals and Milestones:
-
- Done Submit specification for carriage of various EDI
- ``interchange'' transactions via MIME-based e-mail as an
- Internet-Draft.
-
- Done Submit ``specification for carriage...'' document (EDI
- transport) to the IESG for consideration as a Proposed
- Standard.
-
- Jul 94 Complete outline for usage document and include it in the
- minutes from the Toronto IETF.
-
- Aug 94 Submit first the draft of the usage document as an
- Internet-Draft.
-
- Oct 94 Submit the finalized usage document for publication as an RFC.
-
-
- Internet-Drafts:
