This document discusses the challenges of XML management and XMLdation's solutions. The three main challenges are: communicating with stakeholders, managing fragmented XML knowledge, and increasing complexity of XML. As XML transactions have more business rules, the complexity increases. XMLdation offers an XML management platform, validator, test file generation, and consulting services to help customers manage XML specifications and transactions.

6. Increasing complexity
- looking beyond schema
Each different transaction type has lots of
business rules:
Additional restrictions
• Codes, character sets, field lengths . . .
Check sums
• Number of transactions, IBAN, reference, control
sum . . .
Dependences
• IBAN<> BIC, Country code<>IBAN,
if then else, . . .
And so on

7. Increasing complexity
Example credit transfer
ISO20022 includes around 40 business rules
CGI-MP includes around 80 business rule
Bank’s general business rules around 30-50
Transaction specific rules 5-20
80 % of problems and workload are business
rules related
