Industrial concerns How can I keep my own semantics without being forced to use those of others? Why do I need to invest and keep track of standards when I have neither the time nor money? How can I link the semantics of my messages with that of my customers without paying huge consultancy fees? How can I create new data structures which are based on real world use rather than standards theory? How is it possible I can trade with any party with minimal reconfiguration no matter what their country, language? Can you present me something whereby I can utilise any data structure (EDI, XML…) yet the semantic knowledge is retained? How can i easily access and share all the information in the network

Existing Standards form sets of inputs but they are not a reference but IF good enough they can be Standards which arnt used by the market arnt standards If you feel lost and isolated search the existing STASIS community for semantics/structures you do know The more links you have the more certainty you have of making semantic pathways Semantics become Competitive – The more people use you...the more people that will use you
