| Description: |
This Guideline for Implementing the Universal Data Element Framework (UDEF) was developed by the Electronic Enterprise Integration Committee of the Aerospace Industries Association, Inc. It will assist organizations in understanding how they can implement the UDEF and reduce the costs of building and maintaining application-to-application interfaces – whether within a single enterprise or between enterprises or across industries. The UDEF global indexing standard should be viewed as a strategic enabler for application integration cost reductions and for migration to a Service Oriented Architecture. Data standards such as ebXML, STEP, and others can each solve a portion of the problem; however, each alone lacks the unlimited extensibility to cover all domains that UDEF offers.
