This paper presents a survey of the literature relating to security in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) systems. The importance of EDI risk and control categories are examined. We address both the theory and current industrial practice. Perhaps the major contribution of this paper is as a starting point for future researchers in Security for EDI.

The evaluation of Inter-organizational Relationships (IORs) is important in today's businesses for increasing competitiveness and business potential, especially in the Business-to-Business context. However, the evaluation of IORs is often based on success factors, such as trust and flexibility, which are difficult to be measured quantitatively. This motivates us to seek for an approach for eval...

Imaging is a form of probabilistic belief change which could be employed for both revision and update. In this paper, we propose a new framework for probabilistic belief change based on imaging, called Expected Distance Imaging (EDI). EDI is sufficiently general to define Bayesian conditioning and other forms of imaging previously defined in the literature. We argue that, and investigate how, E...

For over 25 years, organizations have used Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) systems to handle business transactions. However, EDI is neither cheap nor simple and is based on private networks. It forces organizations into long-term, tightly coupled trading relationships with their business partners. EDI does not stand for a free exchange of information and transactions. Electronic Business XML ...

Against recent criticism, this article demonstrates that the effective democracy index (EDI) has scale properties that are fully consistent with the normative premises of the index’s construction logic. Empirically, it is shown that the EDI deviates from all other indices of democracy in a perfectly intended way that incorporates substantiating qualities of democracy which the other indices neg...

XML, the eXtensible Markup Language, has become the standard for defining data interchange formats in Internet applications. Therefore, it is currently one of the most popular topics in the area of Electronic Commerce. The XML-hype also enters the field of electronic data interchange (EDI). In the past decades EDI standards, like UN/EDIFACT or ANSI X12 have been the dominant ways of interchangi...

The use of EDI in business transactions is considered a prerequisite in turning both private and public business towards electronic commerce in the next century. The national strategy in Denmark has been to promote the usage of EDIFACT-based EDI in both the public and private sector. In our study of EDI-usage in Denmark, we have found this strategy only partially fruitful, so far. We are monito...

Many inter-organizational systems are increasingly using electronic data interchange (EDI) to support the strategic supply chain by way of delivering and processing business documents. In a vendor–customer relationship, EDI can provide many benefits to both organizations; one such benefit is improved customer service. This study examines the impact of EDI on customer service, when the vendor an...
