Context Inspired Component Architecture (CICA)

Multi-layered architecture to transform data into meaningful business information

CICA is ASC X12's message-designed methodology, created to help resolve costly, differing and often incompatible XML messages used for business-to-business data exchange. CICA has defined a flexible set of semantic components that can be reused to accommodate a number of business processes.

CICA:

  • Gives developers easy access to reusable components
  • Enhances interoperability
  • Identifies interface standards to satisfy common business requirements and industry-specific needs
  • Supports future markup languages and interchange standards
