Allows constraints (which include legal requirements, commercial and/or international trade and contract terms, public policy (e.g. privacy/data protection, product or service labelling, consumer protection), laws and regulations) to be defined and clearly integrated into Open-edi through the BOV. This means that terms and definitions in this standard serve as a common bridge among these different sets of business operational requirements allowing the integration of code sets and rules defining these requirements to be integrated into business processes electronically.
