GSS MISSION

The Guidelines and Standards Subcommittee develops implementation guidelines for ASC X12 transactions, EDIFACT messages and other standards, including XML standards, and publishes recommendations for usage of these transactions and messages (supporting documents).   These publications (available via links on the navigation bar to the left) are called EIDX Conventions, but colloquially called 'transaction set guidelines'. Supporting documents provide detailed implementation recommendations that apply to one or more transactions or messages. XML is evolving as a possible standard for web-based electronic commerce. This and other developments in internet commerce are being evaluated by GSS.

Guidelines Development is a hotbed of activity for EIDX. Guidelines Subcommittee is responsible for the development of implementation conventions that support the business process models defined in Business Process Subcommittee. Guidelines activities focus on both ASC X12 based transactions, and UN/EDIFACT based messages.
