GEFEG mbH announced immediate availability of the EDIFIX 5.0 UBL Reader, enabling companies' easy access and view of UBL 0.70, UBL 1.0 Beta Release and UBL 1.0 Final, an OASIS Committee Draft by the OASIS Universal Business Language Technical Committee for public implementation. The UBL Reader is a variant of the scalable product line GEFEG EDIFIX®. EDIFIX has been selected by the OASIS UBL Technical Committee to parse the spreadsheet data models and produce a schema representation adhering to the UBL 1.0 Naming and Design Rules.

The UBL Reader offers easy access and view of UBL schemas and data models through its tree structure, easy navigation and clearly arranged information.

"We are pleased to be offering this easy to use UBL Reader as a free download. From experiences in many different projects we know how crucial it is to have easy access to the right information and professional software support for preparing the exchange of business information," says Michael Dill, CEO of GEFEG. "We successfully tailored our software for the Universal Business Language to offer a comfortable and easy to use reader version as a starter. With UBL Reader you gain a clear picture of the content in the structure to be implemented, when you plan the actual implementation. If you want to further specify UBL for your corporate requirements as the next step, other EDIFIX variants support the enhancing or restricting of XML schemas." ...
