Re: [ebxml-dev] ebMS vs RNIF

[James Bryce Clark <jamie.clark@mmiec.com>]

I thought the two were converging, not competing. 
See

(watch for wrap)
 From the ebXML BP team's side, we viewed their work as a key model and
strove to maintain strong cross-compatibility.  I had the same
impression from the ebXML MSG team.

Also, judging by the structure of RN's nonprofit association and its
licensing, I am not sure that they intended to support uses outside of
their own electronic industry vertical.  You might check directly
with RosettaNet.
