dc.description.abstractThis report offers an in-depth overview of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) standards as applied to libraries. Authored by Paula Tallim and J.C. Zeeman, it outlines the history, purpose, and global standardization efforts of EDI, focusing on ANSI X12 and UN/EDIFACT standards. It details supporting technologies, such as OSI protocols and messaging systems like X.400 and X.435, and explores their implications for libraries in areas like acquisitions and interlibrary loans. The report also discusses technical barriers, translation software, and international initiatives such as Open-edi. Produced by IFLA’s Universal Dataflow and Telecommunications Core Programme, the document serves as both an introduction and a reference for library professionals aiming to integrate EDI into their operations, enhancing efficiency and interoperability.
