Build W3C XML Schema for UN/EDIFACT Messages with Multilayer and Modular Architecture

摘要

In this paper , we introduce the hierarchical structure of UN/EDIFACT Standard messages(UNSMs) and present a method to build W3C XML Schema for UNSMs with multilayer and modular architecture .This modular architecture can ensure consistency throughout the system and help to accommodate growth and change.Further more, this method can be used to implement all UN/EDIFACT messages in W3C XML Schema . These schemas and will-be implemented schemas can be made as library to be used for national and international EDI application .
