EDI is computer to computer direct transfer of business data through electronic media between organizations and partners. It helps real-time information exchange between locations far apart and enables significant reduction in lead time and improves the accuracy of shared data. Despite being relatively unheralded, in this era of technologies such as XMLservices, the Internet and the World Wide Web, EDI is stiU the data format used by the vast majority of electronic commerce transactions in the world. 

Efforts are currently being undertaken to standardize the MIME types of a number of popular structure and spectral information exchange file formats. Even without the official blessing of the standardization organizations, the proposed chemical MIME data types are already used in a consensual fashion. This topic is continued in Internet-based Computational Chemistry Tools. The article includes an extensive table of the important chemical MIME format identifiers and their corresponding file formats and typical extensions.
