Status of electronic data interchange in the forest products industry
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Electronic data interchange (EDI) is computer-to-computer electronic transmission of business documents between business trading partners. The documents are in structured formats that can be processed by both party's computer application software. This paper discusses results of a study of EDI usage by forest products manufacturers (primary solid wood/pulp and paper) in the United States and Canada. Sixteen percent of respondents indicated that their company is currently conducting EDI. Of the respondents not currently conducting EDI, 28 percent indicated that their company planned to conduct EDI by the year 2002. EDI implementation was found to be highly correlated to company size; over 85 percent of companies with 1997 sales of $5 billion or greater were EDI capable while this figure is only 2.5 percent for respondents with sales of $10 million or less. Results indicate that the main reason for EDI implementation was because of a customer request. The need to commit corporate resources and the willingness to change business practices were listed as important considerations in implementation.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
