ABSTRACT:
Electronic data interchange schema simplification interface for representing a plurality of electronic data interchange (EDI) schemas to a user. Each of the plurality of EDI schemas has data associated therewith. A unitary structure is identified representing the plurality of EDI schemas by decoding the data in the plurality of EDI schemas. Properties are determined to be included in the unitary structure. The properties define characteristics of the plurality of the EDI schemas. A unitary meta-schema is defined to the user as a function of the defined characteristics and the unitary structure. The defined meta-schema corresponds to the plurality of EDI schemas. Determined properties are provided in the defined meta-schema so that the user is able to modify the characteristics of each of the plurality of EDI schemas.
