RE: What do people really expect from ebXML?

[Bob Haugen <linkage@interaccess.com>]

Has anybody listed all of the totally contradictory
demands on the ebXML Core Components group?

I don't know them all, but here are a few from recent list
traffic:
* deliver full UML models from business process to basic
components;
* be compatible with X12 and EDIFACT;
* deliver something simple right now that small businesses
who cannot even afford PC's (now $600) can use.

Lots of fun, Mary Kay!

Hi Philip,

Once we finally send it out, you'll see that we do always start with a
model of the business process, drill down to Functional Sets (logical
business groups), down to Aggregate Core Components, down to Basic
Core Components.  I suppose you're right that it's like a pyramid.<

Mary Kay,

Is this why its taking us so long to "finally send it out"?  (Whatever that
means!?!).

I think William's point is one of clear and simple.  How does all this 
relate to providing a implementation path that small business can
take advantage of?

They are not only consumers but creators.
