& XSLT Hi - has anyone have any comments on the UN/CEFACT Name
and Address Structure that I could pass on to these groups ?

This group of IT Experts have been reviewing whether the two XML
address formats in the Australian eCommerce Standard AS 4590
can be simplified to one format only.

it appears that UN/EDIFACT also has two EDI Structures in the
Address Format.

Can this also be simplified to a single Address format ?

Regards

Stephen GOULD

Hi - Thank you for taking the time to review the current AS 4590
Structure and submitting your responses.

ALL the responses received confirm that the simplex version for the
Name and Address format of AS 4590 can be replaced by the 
Complex Version !

Not only that Joost confirmed that a structured format is required
for effective data mining - two responses placed on home page

REVIEW UN/CEFACT - POSSIBLE UN/CEFACT SUPPORT

In addition we have reviewed the UN/CEFACT eTrade documents
stipulated in the Port of Melbourne EOI 13110 and provided
a comparison for your consideration
http://www.oic.org/z/XZIG/UNCEFACT/ 

As the Mission Statement of UN/CEFACT sates that it "supports 
activities dedicated to improving ebusiness activities" this review by
you may be  of considerable importance to UN/CEFACT hence
the copy to Duane NICKULL.

UN/CEFACT may want to support this initiative as:

1	Standards Australia has not been able to reconvene IS/11, 

2	Tradegate has shut down ebXML Australia and 

3	The Federal Government "retired" the  Australian Panel of eCommerce
	Experts 
	http://www.ecommerce.treasury.gov.au/html/expert.htm 

NEXT STEPS

B	FRI 15 DEC - BY 17:00 

1	review new format again as draft AS 4590 address segment

2	If still agree Complex version can replace simplex version

Please send e-mail

3	"I have reviewed proposed AS 4590 single XML Address
	and still consider it as the best option as an eCommerce
	Standard"

Thank you

Regards
