Abstract:This paper describes an investigation on the use of OpenTripModel (OTM) to check if it is a proper standard that is able to replace EDIFACT for the message exchange between companies in the logistics sector. While EDI standard defines the syntax for the messages, it lacks semantic definition, which results in the lack of semantic interoperability. In this research, we analyzed OTM and EDIFACT standards' documentation and real-world messages from an integration platform used by logistics companies in the European Union. Based on this analysis we propose mappings between EDIFACT and OTM, and demonstrate how these mappings should be executed for message translations. To that end, this paper presents a proof-of-concept migration that the IT sector can rely on to start preparing for complete migration.
