Abstract
Canonical messaging is highly useful when integrating a number of applications. It can provide organizations with a means of leveraging data using industry standards. Canonical messaging essentially results in reduced costs and high return on investment (RoI). This white paper provides an introduction to canonical messaging and underlines its importance in the enterprise application integration space. It outlines the steps required to move from traditional application specific formats to a common application neutral format. The use of XML in developing canonical messages is stated with its benefits of data re-use and reduced maintenance costs.
