Re: Question for collaboration model and available standards

[Karsten Riemer <Karsten.Riemer@East.Sun.COM>]

Jenny,
It is not correct that ebXML will not support modeling complicated multiparty
collaborations. In fact that is probably one of the biggest values ebXML will
eventually bring to the market. But it is correct that for the infrastructure
release of ebXML, due to be approved in late March 2001, we have chosen to
take only a first step towards complex collaborations, namely choreographed
binary collaborations.  So your research will actually be very timely, as you
can contribute to shaping the next release after the infrastructure release
where we intend to support a much fuller collaboration model.

thanks,
-karsten
