Electronic Data Interchange: An Overview of EDI Standards for Libraries (1993)


Electronic Data Interchange is intended to handle all aspects of business transactions such as ordering, acknowledgements, pricing, status, scheduling, shipping, receiving, invoices, payments, and financial reporting. One of the principal aims of EDI has been to develop electronic surrogates for the myriad of paper forms used in commercial transactions such as purchase orders, bills of lading, and invoices. Since the early 1970's, efforts have been underway to develop standardized data formats for business transactions.
This chapter will describe the two main EDI standards that are currently used in North America and Europe; the ASC X12 group of standards supported by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the EDIFACT standards supported by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE).

Getting Started with Scrum

What is Scrum? Scrum is an agile development framework that is structured around sprints (or iterations of work). A key component of a sprint is the product backlog which is made up of prioritized user stories (or requirements). Below are some resources to help you get started using Scrum and best practices for creating user stories, whether you're using a dedicated Scrum tool or not.

IFRS compared to Canadian GAAP:
An overview – Third Edition 2010


This publication is designed to assist you in understanding the significant differences between IFRS and Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Canadian GAAP). It does not discuss every possible difference between the two standards; rather, it is a summary of those differences that we have encountered most frequently in practice, resulting from either a difference in emphasis or specific application guidance.
