RE: [ebxml-dev] RosettaNet, was ebMS TR&P and EDI-INT AS2

[Peter Kacandes <Peter.Kacandes@Sun.COM>]

Your best bet is to check out rosettanet.org

In short, RN started off as an effort in the electronics manufacturing 
distribution industry to try and standardize certain business practices (like 
updating electronic parts catalogs) in order to reduce costs and improve cycle 
times for everyone involved.

Later, it expanded back into the electronics manufacturing supply chain and then 
tried to move on to other vertical industries.

However, they weren't really set up to do that, and ebXML was getting going 
around that time also with a goal of trying to develop a base infrastructure 
that could then be used across multiple verticles.

Over time, the RN folks seemed to conclude that they would be better off 
focusing on their core competencies in their domain of expertise and leave 
definition of the tecnical standards to a more appropriate standards bodies.

Hense, you have the current situation where multiple industry orgs like RN, 
Auto, Healthcare, Travel, etc., seem to be moving toward adopting ebXML for a 
common infrastructure.

Hope that helps.

cheers
