UBL

What is UBL?

UBL stands for Universal Business Language. It is a royalty-free library of standard XML business documents. It supports the digitizing of commercial and logistical processes for domestic and international supply chains such as orders and invoices. It can be thought of as a language that allows business applications to exchange information along their supply chains in the same common format.
