RE: [ebxml-dev] WS-I

["Lee, Teho" <tlee@iona.com>]

Microsoft .NET combined with its Global XML Web Services(WS-Inspection,
WS-License, WS-Routing...) is pushing the recently heating-up baseline
web services(SOAP,UDDI,WSDL) to its ultimate use. This is an entirely
new set of standards so no surprise its interoperability needs to be
well coordinated between players like any other standard does. This is
why WS-I. (see the following URL).

ter/html/ws-ijump.asp

IMO, ebXML has every bit of web services' ingredient, and in some
aspects even more (like there's no WS-Reliable Messaging yet...). It's
just that web services has been gathering soooo much steam in the past
few months because of its transparency and ease of use. The future, a
big success/demise of web services itself or convergence of business
standards(RosettaNet, ebXML...) and web services... I'll leave it for
your own judgment.

Seems to me their focus is on adopting existing specifications rather
than
developing them.  Other than that, they read very much like "yet another
Internet based technology consortium", as if we don't have enough of
them
already...
