DFDL Schema for EDIFACT 91.1? #8

Open lstierney opened 1 month ago

lstierney commented 1 month ago

My organisation has a "black box" legacy piece of software that produces and consumes EDIFACT 91.1 messages: invoices, orders and dispatch advice. Due to issues with this software we would like to write a new application, for which we will therefore have the source code to replace the existing; still using 91.1

A DFDL Schema for schema for EDIFACT 91.1 would be very useful.

According to the README on this repo:

"DFDL schemas for other UN/EDIFACT releases and message types are available from IBM, please contact smh@uk.ibm.com."

I contacted the email address but it's no longer valid: "The email address you entered couldn't be found. Please check the recipient's email address and try to resend the message"

So:

1) Is there a different email address I should contact? 2) Do you know of anywhere else I could get a DFDL schema for EDIFACT 91.1?

That email address is stale. Steve Hanson is smhdfdl at gmail dot com now. However, he is no longer at IBM. Bradd Kadlecik (braddk at us dot ibm dot com) is also working on the DFDL language and is a contact inside IBM you can start from. IBM products such as ACE support EDIFACT via DFDL.

On the open-source side of things....

The smooks EDI cartridge uses a DFDL schema generated from the EDIFACT definitions, and there is discussion of re-generating your own DFDL schemas from the EDIFACT definition files. Perhaps that approach will work for the specific EDIFACT version you need.
