A web site addressed to the Interoperability for the network of enterprises of a specific industrial sector, why?
- Implementation of effective intercompany collaborations between a large
part of the firms sharing the same industrial supply chain is a decisive
factor of competitiveness of the European industrial system.
- In industrial sectors with a large presence of small and medium enterprises
(SMEs) and with complex relationships (supplying, subcontracting), like
Textile Clothing, the enterprises (final users or technology suppliers as
well), encounter difficulties to face the interoperability issues by themselves.

What is MODA-ML
- Moda-ML is an initiative that aims to publicly offer tools and format specifications for the data exchange based on XML and Internet and to stimulate convergence and consensus of associations and firms
- Moda-ml is the most powerful inter-operabiliy language for the Textile-Clothing industry from yarn to apparel manufacturing.
Since its first release in 2003 it has constantly progressed in quantity and quality to provide for the needs of an ever extending demand of Users.
- At present it covers:

- about 700 vocabules (XML Types)
Moda-ML: a language and a common method to integrate companies of the Textile/Clothing supply chain.

The approach of Moda-ML is based on the exchange of standardized XML documents (‘messages’) that are publicly available via Internet.
-
The transmission of the XML messages is based on the ebXML protocol that is publicly availble.

Moda-ML participated the CEN/ISSS initiative WS TexSPIN and TexWeave to create a sectorial European standard for the B2B exchanges leaded by the European Association of the Textile and Apparel industry, Euratex.

Moda-ML began thanks to the European support to the Moda-ML project (IST Take-Up Action Line IV.2.5 "Computing, communications and networks take-up measures") through the V Framework Research Programm (cluster of projects Eutist-AMI).
-
After the conclusion of the initial contract, Moda-ML continues through the activities of the Technical Group and of the Pilot Users of the project in other initiatives with regional, national and European support.
