43、 can exchange administrative, commercial and transport information between their computers, without manual intervention, is agreement on the content and structure of the information to be transmitted. In EDIFACT, this is achieved by developing United Nations Standard Electronic Messages (UNSMs), for

44、 both national and international use. These guidelines are intended for:- . those who want to submit a draft message for registration as a new UNSM. To achieve this status : - the proposed draft message must be for use at the international level (rather than solely for use at a National or Sectoral

45、level there must be no existing UNSM having a function identical (or nearly identical) with the proposed draft the proposers of the draft need to accept that if there is interest in the proposed message amongst other potential users in other sectors and/or countries, those users will wish to take pa

46、rt in and contribute to the development . those who wish to propose an amendment to an existing UNSM by means of a “Change Request“. (The procedures for maintenance, change requests and technical assessment will be found in Appendix 4 to these guidelines) . those who wish to design standard messages

47、 which do not qualify for UNSM status. (These could include messages for use at an international level, but only within an identifiable sector - for example a specific industry. Similarly, messages for use only in National applications - which could, for example be for National Customs systems; and

48、for messages designed for Private Sector applications.) The guidelines have several goals:- . to introduce the EDIFACT Syntax Rules for those who have not encountered them earlier 1 to propose a uniform technique for the development of standard messages for use at different levels and in different a

49、pplications to recommend a standard layout and presentation for documentation specifying ED1 messages to recommend consistent techniques for designing new messages, or for modifying existing messages. The guidelines relate to work carried out by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, Working Party Number 4 (UN/ECE/WP.4) and the International Standards Organisation (ISO), known as EDIFACT (Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce and Transport). It is essential that newcomers to the EDIFACT standards should familiarise themselves with the supporting doc
