About ebXML ...

“The ebXML initiative is a worldwide effort to develop a common framework for using XML to facilitate data exchange. A critical part of the initiative combines a definition of business processes with an identification of core components used in most business messages. The XML standards proposed by ASC X12 and [the UN/EDIFAct Work Group] will build on the ebXML framework.”

"e centreUK believes that ebXML offers the business world the best chance of avoiding the standards complexity and inconsistencies that have dogged EDI.

"The Open Applications Group enthusiastically supports ebXML and is taking several steps forward to adopt and converge it with their own body of work. OAGI is able to do this because of their technology neutral architecture and approach. The Open Applications Group will support the ebXML transport layer, TRP, as an "envelope" for transmitting their 182+ OAGIS XML payloads. OAGIS will also support the CPP and CPA for collaboration protocol profiles and agreements. The ebXML BPSS will be populated with the many business collaborations already defined by the OAGI as well as all new business collaborations under development or planned. .... OAGI will work towards convergence with the core components effort by initially adopting the ebXML naming conventions for XML tags and by cross-referencing OAGIS XML tags to the UID in the core components specification."

"As the organisation in Australia vested with the responsibility of providing liaison with UN/CEFACT and its Working Groups, Tradegate ECA is very pleased to herald the successful conclusion of the ebXML Initiative sponsored by UN/CEFACT and OASIS. SMEs in Australia have long sought appropriate technology to enable them to participate in the benefits which electronic business currently provides to the larger organisations using traditional EDI. Conversely the larger organisations have also awaited technology to enable them to trade electronically with their smaller suppliers and thus more fully reap the benefits which come from efficient systems. ebXML delivers the appropriate technology to allow SME participation in electronic business ....
