Moda-Ml, an Interoperability Framework for the Textile-Clothing Sector

The MODA-ML project aims to enhance the interoperability between enterprises in the Textile/Clothing sector defining a common interchange language based on a set of XML business components and on a framework to exchange business documents related to production processes. The message switching system is built on a peer-to-peer architecture and is based for the transport specification on the ebXML standards. In order to enforce this architecture a set of tools has been developed to face the security and the maintenance of the system, and to encourage the diffusion of MODA-ML framework. Some considerations on the first phase of the experimentation conducted by a group of leading Italian T/C enterprises are presented at the end of the paper.
