Study Notes

EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is a method of transferring standardized business transactions electronically between businesses using private networks or value-added networks.
EDI transactions require both parties to have the same application software and adhere to a strict format.
Examples of EDI transactions include buyers sending orders (EDI 850) and suppliers responding with invoices (EDI 810).
EDI is commonly used in sectors such as retail, automotive, defense, and heavy manufacturing.
Advantages of EDI include increased efficiency and time savings, reduced errors, and improved communication between trading partners.
Disadvantages of EDI include reliance on third parties for system maintenance, potential for total system dependence, and concentration of control.
EDI also has the potential for data processing, application, and communication errors, potential loss of management and audit trails, and the risk of unauthorized transactions and fraud.
E-commerce refers to online buying and selling of goods or services.
E-commerce enables and supports the exchange of information, goods, and services between companies and their customers.
The 2005 updated curriculum for Chemistry at the Higher Secondary stage aims to provide a sufficient conceptual background for students to succeed in various entrance tests and academic and professional courses.
The syllabus covers areas such as physical, organic, inorganic, industrial, analytical, and polymer chemistry and includes new nomenclature, symbols, formulations, fundamental concepts, and modern techniques.
Objectives of teaching Chemistry at the Higher Secondary stage include promoting understanding of basic facts and concepts, preparing students for academic and professional courses, exposing students to new areas of chemistry, and applying chemistry concepts to various spheres of chemical sciences and technology.
