Re: [ebxml-dev] Re: Adding commodities to ebXML

Thank you very much!  I'm going to review this further to see the version of UNSPSC.  I've been driving an update to several of the UNSPSC segments (as a Segment Technical Lead and Steering Committee member).  

One of the big challenges in the current model is the ability to share different formats that consumers of the information, as well as relate multiple hierarchies together (e.g. mappings between UNSPSC & NAICS & others).
