For example a company that would like to transmit and recieve purchases and invoices with other companies might use data mapping to create data maps from a company's data to standardixed [[ANSI ASC X12]] messages for items such as purchase orders and invoices.
'''X12 standards''' are generic [[Electronic Data Interchange]] (EDI) standards designed to allow a [[company (law)|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 or Microsofts BizTalk mapper. 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]] or [[C plus plus]].
