Re: Fw: [ebsoa] IBM BI-ICS

Jon,

We're definately trail blazing here (again).

I just answered some questions over on the WashDC XML UG listserver
and posted the attached example CAM template XML.

This is mostly all new territory for people - the EDI-old-hacks  -
intuitively
see the merits and the needs - because they've had to code this up in
COBOL, then C, now Java and XML.   So having XML scripting for
this is a giant leap forward for mankind there.

However - I sense that people that have just been doing XSD and
documents are taken aback by this - because this level of precision
and detail coupling is not in their experience matrix.

Unfortunately this does not make it easy for people to judge the
merits and longer term consequences - like showing a kid two shiny new
bikes - do they pick the red one or the green one?!

Anyway - at least all this ruckus is helping people see the
"why do we need this anyway?" - that they'd otherwise
passed over.

Thanks, DW.
