Re: TC154 vote on NWI - your approval needed

Dear David:

The entire service code list for D.E. 0007 (2000/11/05) is at the ISO/TC
154-UN/CEFACT Joint Syntax Working Group (JSWG) web site at
http://www.gefeg.com/jswg/cl/s4/40004/cl3.htm.  The code list is only
aligned with ISO 6523 in a hodge-podge fashion for only the recently
added codes.  The whole point of using ISO 6523 is to avoid having to
maintain the service codes for EDIFACT's D.E. 0007.

My impression is that if D.E. 0007 is "30" (ISO 6523: Organization
identification), then the corresponding receiver (D.E. 0010) or sender
(D.E. 0004) code would be the ICD followed by the organization ID.  For
example, a receiver ID as an ISO 8523 structure of "0060835471095" is
instantly recognized as CommerceOne, where the 0060 says "(D-U-N-S
Number)" and 835471095 is their DUNS.

In any case, I'm relieved to hear that ISO 6523 is alive and well.

Henry and William,

By way of background, and to let you know the that ISO 6523 is alive and
well.  For EDIFACT, the UNB (Interchange header) uses data element 0007
(Identification code qualifier) to qualify 0004 (Interchange sender
identification) and 0010 (Interchange recipient identification).

The point here is that the code list for 0007 (see below) is aligned
with ISO 6523, and as part maintenance process has its code values
assigned by the Maintenance Agency (MA) for ISO 6523.  As you will see
in the latest EDIFACT code list below (Oct 2000), there are number of
new values (designated with a "+").  These were assigned by the ISO 6523
MA within the last four months.

Rgds
David
