RE: Fantasies

["Petit, John" <jpetit@kpmg.com>]

What may be confusing is that the semantic mapping you refer to is not very
well documented within the ebXML spec. Perhaps you can point out the
semantic mapping hooks in the spec that you are using. Naturally you should
not give away XML Global secrets, but the basic approach should be shared
and illustrated.

William:

I am one of the people that Arofan is referring to when he says this.  I
have been able to succesfully demonstrate automated semantic mapping
based on GUID reference.  There should be no question about the
feasability of this anymore.

Sure - there are problems with missing information between documents of
some existing vocabularies, however there are mechanisms to overcome
those as well.  ebXML will work.  There are some issues to resolve with
gaps and overlap between certain specs.  

My Company, XMLG launched its' GoXML foundation suite today which
includes tools to transform between XML and EDI, a Native XML Database
and our XML Search Engine which together, can be used to build a fully
functional XML Registry/Repository system.  The next version will
feature some automation based on UID inputs and Registry look ups.  An
Alpha was able to do this last year.  

Let's move forward.
