Re: AW: ebXML - core components glossary of terms and acronyms

["Tim McGrath" <tmcgrath@tedis.com.au>]

i would like to introduce myself to this thread.

i think one of the issues here is unambiguous communcation and goes beyond
the use and definition of acronyms.

i am the person working in the technical co-ordination group who is
developing the 'ebXML glossary' and also the person liaison with the core
components group.

i understood that core components have team working on this (as do most
other groups) and would like to make contact with whoever is responsible.
