Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a standard for the structured transmission of data between organizations. It was developed in the 1960s and 1970s as a way for large companies to exchange business documents electronically in a standardized format. EDI is a hierarchical approach to inter-firm information transfer, with data organized into segments and elements, and transmitted using agreed-upon syntax rules. While other technologies, such as client/server and TCP/IP, have played important roles in the development of B2B e-commerce, EDI remains an important foundation for many inter-organizational transactions. Object technology, a programming paradigm that emphasizes modular, reusable code, is not specifically related to B2B e-commerce.
