Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the structured transmission of data between organizations by electronic means. It is used to transfer electronic documents or business data from one computer system to another computer system, i.e., from one trading partner to another trading partner without human intervention. It is more than mere e-mail; for instance, organizations might replace bills of lading and checks with appropriate EDI messages. It also refers specifically to a family of standards. In the context of purchasing a TV and processing the transaction electronically, EDI would be the system used to transmit purchasing documents and other transaction data between the buyer, the seller, and possibly other parties involved in the transaction.
