UDEF - Universal Data Element Framework http://www.udef.org/
UDEF - Universal Data Element Framework - e-Business, ebXML & Web Services: The Missing Semantic Link. The future of automated data, application and process integration: The Universal Data Element Framework (UDEF) is a cross-industry metadata identification strategy designed to facilitate convergence and interoperability among e-business and other standards. The objective of the UDEF is to provide a means of real-time identification for semantic equivalency, as an attribute to data elements within e-business document and integration formats. There is a distinction to be made between the document standards, core components, ontological and taxonomical efforts underway as a result of the wide ranging integration and application collaboration activities on the net: The UDEF seeks only be an attribute in the data element. There are no process, validation or handling requirements, it only seeks to communicate in a standard and repeatable way, the exact concept that the data element represents. There is very little about context, just enough to identify the data element exactly. The UDEF can be seen as the "Dewey Decimal System" across standards. This will be added to Business Resources 2004 Internet MiniGuide and eCommerce Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
