An approach to document standardization

 [Next]

 

  1. Identify the largest data structures (business information entities) that are shared across related business document types and standardize those structures in an agreed-upon XML syntax to form a core library.
  2. Devise a mechanism for extending or modifying the business information entities to reflect the requirements of any given business context (any set of context drivers).
  3. Generate standard context-specific XML versions of basic business documents and store them in a public registry.
  4. Point to the appropriate document types for a specific context and do business.
