Short "history" of the versions of Moda-ML

Introduction to the releases of Moda-ML

The official versions of Moda-ML (named with the year and a number, ex. '2004-1') after the release are public and cannot modified; they are available on-line and can be used also after the release of the further versions.
A version is made of:

  • collaboration processes analisys (reference samples)
  • different templates for the different kind of messages, XML documents, (XML Schemas, used to validate the documents) and the related User guides.
  • a dictionary of terms and of their coding
  • optionally stylesheets (XSL) to show the message content and samples

The Draft version, differently, is a working version, accessible to the workgroup and to the focus group members (in the final phases also registered users can access them) and is under published for comments. It can be modified many times before the release of an official version.
Comments are welcome on all the versions (the last official and the draft ones): the comments must be addressed to the staff (click HERE).

These documents and software can be freely downloaded and used, they cannot be sold but you can embed them in your products and commercial solution (you must only inform that they are present and developed by the MODA-ML team).

Version Moda-ML 2004-1
(September 2004)

This is the second operating version of Moda-ML after the first one (2003-1).

NEW
This version adds to the previous one, the support to new processes: Yarn Production and Yarn Supplying are now supported with the management of the subcontracting (related to purchase order, despatch and subcontracting order).
Some relevant extensions have been introduced to the already supported processes:
- in Fabric Production, dyeing and finishing subcontracting have been added;
- a new modalty of Fabric supplying has been supported, alternative to the conventional one, with the final despatch of a kit (fabric + accessories) to the subcontractors of the Garment Producer, instead of despatching the fabric to the Garment Producer.
- the Fabric invoice has been modified, to comply with the recommendations of the e-Invoice Focus Group (CEN/ISSS).

BACK-COMPATIBILITY:
The documents of the previous version (2003-1) are validated by the Schema of the present version (the new Schemas add only some optional elements or allow more choices).
The fabric invoice is an exception: it has been completely reorganised and is not compatible with the previous version (the adoption ofthe new format is strongly suggested).
The Schema of the previous version are available on line anyway.
