'''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'''.

In the future, tools based on [[semantic web]] languages such as [[RDF]], the [[Web Ontology Language]] (OWL) and standardized [[metadata registry]] will make data mapping a more automatic process. This process will be accelerated if each application performed [[metadata publishing]]. Full automated data mapping is a very difficult problem (see [[Semantic translation]]).
