Line 5: '''X12 standards''' are generic [[Electronic Data Interchange]] (EDI) standards designed to allow a [[company]] to exchange [[data]] with any other company, regardless of industry. The standards are maintained by the Accredited Standards Committee X12 (ASC X12), with the [[American National Standards Institute]] (ANSI) accredited to set standards for EDI. The X12 standards are often called '''[[ANSI ASC X12]] standards'''. Today most data mappings are done manually with tools such as Altova's MapForce. These are graphical tools that allow a user to "draw" lines from fields one set of data to another. Transformation programs are automatically created in [[XSLT]], [[Java (programming) language]Java] or [[C++]]. In the future, tools based on semantic web languages such as RFD and OWL will make data mapping a more automatic process. Full automated data mapping is a very difficult problem (see [[Semantic translation]]). == See Also == [[Semantic translation]] [[Semantics]] [[Semantic web]] [[Metadata]] *[[XML transformation]] ==External links==
