Wikipedia provides a pretty good explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDIFACT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDIFACT
The beauty of EDIFACT by the way, is that with enough time and effort it can get parsed and validated using any text processing tool at your disposal because everything is _rigorously_ specified by the UN.
For example I once had to do it with a set of specs, standard Linux text processing tools and a sprinkle of shell scripting for a school assignment.
