Transmittal Format
Platform independent mechanism for interchanging SEDRIS transmittals via file-based media
- Specification: the layout and interpretation of bytes on media
- Software: a reference implementation of the SEDRIS API which extracts and inserts data into STF transmittals
STF is not a library or repository of environment data
- It merely facilitates the creation/management of such a repository
Evolution synchronized with the SEDRIS DRM and API
Useful when the interchange process precludes the use of producer-specific software during transmittal consumption owing to:
- Platform incompatibilities
- Need for independent legacy support
- Run-time performance & resource requirements
