Definition of Electronic Data Interchange

In the context of international law, the legal resource A Dictionary of Law, provides a definition of Electronic Data Interchange : EDI

(electronic data interchange, EDI)

The use of electronic data-transmission networks to exchange information. Significant commercial contracts set out the terms on which such information is supplied, and much commerce is now done on this basis (known as paperless trading), either through a closed network called an intranet, to which only members of a limited group have access, or through an open network, i.e. the Internet. Some international legal rules have been agreed in this field, including the Uniform Rules of Conduct for Interchange of Trade Data by Teletransmission (See UNCID).
