Transentric has
released eight schemas in support of open standards for load tendering,
delivery, freight billing, reconciliation, scheduling/forecasting and
equipment ordering.
The schemas form part of TranXML, an effort by Transentric to provide open
schemas for the transportation industry. (Although Transentric use the words
"open industry standard," it appears that TranXML is at this stage a single
vendor proposal.)
The TranXML schemas can be obtained, via the
TranXML Open Source License Agreement, from Transentric's web site. The
License appears to be compatible with the GPL, but preserves
Transentric's trademarks.
TranXML is one of the first vertical industry vocabularies to make use of
the W3C's XML Schema Recommendation.
