HIGH POINT - The Product Catalog and Purchase Order Committee has issued a statement regarding the Catalog Schema.

"The catalog is final pending any changes requested or suggested by the UCC. Current version stands at 1.3. The schema article is also completed and the link to access this remains the same. It still needs to be converted to PDF format but it is quite usable as it stands. The UML model requested by the UCC is about 90% complete. There's just a bit of organization that needs to be done there. It can be viewed at: ftp://ftp.eprevue.net/Support/XML/Documentation/ProductCatalogUML.htm "

As an industry we want to thank all those involved in producing this work. Hundreds of hours have gone into this schema and it is a model not only for our industry, but for others as well.

The schema has been submitted to the UCC for review and then hopefully, adoption by the industry-at-large. To see the documentation and follow the work done by this committee and twelve others go to the FIDX web site at http://www.fidx.org.
