ebXML Initiative™
to Deliver Its Initial XML Interoperability Specifications in May 2000
Orlando, FL, USA February
2000
The ebXML Initiative™ to Create a Single Global XML
Framework Solution, a joint effort of the United Nation/CEFACT and OASIS,
continued to attract the participation of major industry standards
organizations and companies from around the world at its second working meeting
in Orlando, FL, USA. “ebXML may very well prove to be a major event of the new millennium,
revolutionizing how business transactions are tracked, affecting worldwide impacts, removing paper from the
process, and by empowering people to create whole new work models,” said David
RR Webber, North American Chair of the XML/EDI Group. Others expressed the
belief that the ebXML Initiative is the only chance this decade to establish an
international electronic commerce standard. Participants representing 14 countries, 83 companies, government agencies and several national and international standards organizations extended to nearly 500 by virtual participation. Lending their knowledge and expertise to the ebXML Initiative™ are representatives from IBM, Sun Microsystems, Commerce One, Dun & Bradstreet, Oracle, Visa International, General Motors joined with individuals representing Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and United Kingdom. A full listing of countries, companies and organizations represented is at the end of this document. The energy and enthusiasm of the on-site participants was
evident in all eight Project Teams’ efforts. Each project team committed to an
aggressive schedule to deliver the components of the ebXML™ framework.
Specification components of the ebXML™ Framework to be developed between the
Orlando meeting and submitted for approval at the next meeting to be held in
Brussels include the following: ·
ebXML Requirements Specification ·
ebXML Conceptual Architecture Specification ·
ebXML Message Structure and Headers Specification ·
ebXML Core Components Specification The work of the ebXML project teams is carried out via
extensive listserv discussions and regular teleconferences between each
face-to-face meeting. Proposed specifications will be submitted for public
comment via the ebXML listserv and the ebXML web site. Participation is open to
anyone wishing to contribute to this critical and exciting initiative.
