ACORD XML and Siebel Financial Services EAI

The ACORD XML for Property and Casualty (P&C) and Surety is an insurance industry definition of XML that contains appropriate messages for the property, casualty, and surety business sector in the insurance industry. The ACORD standard defines the required structure and format of an XML message to describe data elements and contents needed for the policy application, approval, and so on. The definition exists in the ACORD document type definition (DTD), which is incorporated by the Siebel connector to construct ACORD XML messages.
