As part of a joint initiative with the UN/EDIFACT Working Group, the ASC X12 working group aims to create a set of Joint Core Components (JCC) that will serve as the basis for business objects valid for both X12 and UN/EDIFACT business processes. These business processes can then be applied to XML initiatives as well as future, as-of-yet-undeveloped efforts. In particular, these Core Components will be applied to the work of the ebXML group, which is seeking to develop a cross-industry lingua for e-Business.
