Abstract

Since the receiver of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) message is a program, for the sender's intentions to be understood and acted upon these intentions must be anticipated to be programmed. Procedures and applications have developed according to the needs of particular businesses, leading to large variations, even within the same industry. Human filters have been applied as interfaces between theses applications and EDI standards have been created allowing practically any variation of any message to be created. The problem arises when the parties want to automate the procedures connected with the exchanged messages. They must either extend their own applications in order to accomodate this variety or, as part of the axchange agreement, reduche the variations to those that can be dealt with and thereby standardize their way of doing business. Even for large organizations, the first choice is economically infeasible and the question is: who decides how to standardize? The present state of EDI, with hubs deciding and spokes doing what they must do to stay in business, has been inevitable and will continue in future. This is in contrast to the view of EDI as a universal infrastrucutre
