Re: More on throwing some context on them codes....

Andrzej Bialecki wrote on Fri, 16 Mar 2001, that I "might want to submit
the resulting dictionary [of core horizontal vocabulary items derived
from the X12 codes] to BSR (http://www.ubsr.org), so that other
e-commerce initiatives can benefit from it..."

I have been informed by the very highest levels of ISO TC 154 that the
ISO BSR is all but dead. Therefore, no heed should be paid to it.

Instead, I'm anxiously awaiting the progress of DISA's ebXML-compliant
Registry and Repository for E-Business Standards, where business
vocabularies may find a home.  See the press release "DISA to Host
ebXML-compliant Registry and Repository for E-Business Standards," at
http://www.x12.org/apps/pr/prdoc.cfm?Name=543.  DISA is the secretariat
for ANSI ASC X12 and is the American Entry Point for UN/EDIFACT.
