XML/EDI is a powerful technology for electronic commerce and has been proposed to be applied in today's business-to-business e-commerce. It is a more cost effective way of ecommerce document exchange than traditional EDI. In order to implement XML/EDI, many initiatives are trying to develop standard XML documents. There are two initiatives, which try to develop the standard XML documents suitable for use in every kind of industry. They are xCBL and ebXML. Many companies recognize the value of these standard documents in e-commerce and apply in their trading systems in a variety of ways. This research study uses the xCBL documents in business-to-business electronic trading of the seed industry. Although there are many ways to transmit XML documents over the Internet, this study applies electronic mail system as a document exchange medium as it is the cheapest way.
