The Data Interchange Standards Association (DISA) is the institution responsible for the development of cross-industry electronic business interchange standards.
DISA serves as the Secretariat for ANSI ASC X12 and their X12 EDI and XML standards development process.
The Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 develops and maintains the most widely implemented EDI standards. These standards interface with a multitude of e-commerce technologies and serve as the premier tool for integrating e-commerce applications. Through the X12 Committee's standards and active participation in emerging and relevant technical initiatives (XML, ebXML), they foster cross-industry consensus and set the norm for more effective data exchange.
Famous quotes containing the words data, interchange, standards and/or association:
“Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
“The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.”
—Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
“As long as our people quote English standards they dwarf their own proportions.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... a Christian has neither more nor less rights in our association than an atheist. When our platform becomes too narrow for people of all creeds and of no creeds, I myself cannot stand upon it.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
