TEXSPIN Workshop was based on the contribution, in terms of technology, experience and know-how of the parallel TEXSPIN project (developing of EDITEX messages compliant with EANCOM and XML/EDI pilot experiences based on new XML messages) and of two projects realized in Italy (MODA-ML, upstream part of the supply chain, from raw materials to clothing manufacture, IST european financing) and in France (eTeXML, downstream part of the supply chain, from clothing manufacture to distribution, french national financing).
Its aim was to define a common framework for data interchange of the T/C sector at a european level.
The results of the TEXSPIN project were validated by the workshop and produced a CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA), in the form of a "Best Practice" regarding:
- validation of the new framework of XML documents derived from EDITEX (XML/EDITEX)
- requirements and architecture of a collaborative framework based on XML messages
- guidelines for framework implementation
More in details, the CWA defines two sets of XML documents for the B2B information exchange:
a) a set of XML documents for the side of the supply chain dealing with production, from Moda-ML (v2003-1)
