Re: XSL stylesheet for packing slip

[Willy Bryant <WCBorg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As David noted, XML.org consolidates a number of sources, they are 
sponsored by OASIS and went live very recently.  They're actively 
soliciting schema submissions, but I haven't found much current 
content.  (Maybe I just wasn't looking in the right place.)

 A couple of other places to look for DTDs and XML samples:

Commerce One http://www.commerceone.com/xml/index.html -- General business 
xCBL.  ZIP files provide 150 DTD files and a dozen or so samples.

RosettaNet http://www.Rosettanet.org/ -- Electronics industry. Free, but 
requires registration.  A lot of emphasis on business process automation.

Microsoft Biztalk http://www.biztalk.org/BizTalk/default.asp -- Has a 
schema repository.  Free, but requires registration.  Last I checked, the 
posted samples were very rudimentary.

You're probably on your own with the XSL.  These groups are focused on 
element definition and business requirements -- not translation or 
presentation.

I don't know of any packing slip DTD examples.  I doubt the e-business 
standards bodies would focus on creating them since they are physically 
attached to goods for transport and loading dock receipt/routing.  Not much 
call for XML there (unless you're using those cool new RFID tags.)

You may be able to take an invoice (header and detail) and trim it down 
into a decent packing slip example.  Of course, it may be just as fast to 
trot over to your receiving department, ask for a couple of packing slips 
and build your own.
