Paul,

I have a question and a comment.

Can you point me to information on Telcordia COMMON LANGUAGE 
Products?

I would expect the semantics of business information exchanged 
within an enterprise to be a *superset* of that in B2B exchanges,
with some additional internal functionality not connected with B2B.
It is a bit like Internet mail programs - not all provide the same
functionality to users, but they had better support the same 
communication protocols.

Regards,
Robert
