The role of CAM services
Purpose: The purpose of this TC is to
provide a generalized assembly
mechanism using templates of
business transaction content. These
templates augment and enhance
schema structure definitions with
context driven business rules so that
accurate information content can be
produced consistently.
Utility: The CAM approach also integrates with metadata semantics and
particularly with registry storage of vocabularies of metadata.
A compliant CAM processor is thereby able to provide documentation of
information exchange formats, validation of transaction instances and
runtime creation of valid transaction documents.
