Subject: Re: [ubl-ndrsc] Draft X12 XML Reference Model

I'm hoping that they will be pretty much in-line with what UBL does, but I wouldn't bet on it yet. Although we would hope that UBL would consider the CICA stuff, I can't argue much with your decision to not consider it, at least until it is more fleshed out and has some official standing in X12. > > >Regards, >Bill > > -- Michael C.
