Abstract

Electronic Data Interchange systems are used to transmit business messages in a compact form, with the meaning of message components positionally determined. We propose translating EDI messages into "semantic" forms in which the statements encoded in the compact forms are explicitly expressed, allowing reasoning based on such messages by any program using the semantic language, allowing their generation and use by Semantic Web services through the use of mediators. We present a system for semantically encoding EDI messages through the use of semantic templates.
