Re: [ebxml-dev] Role of OAG in ebXML BP design

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

Hello Scott.   I am forwarding this to several people -- ebXML BP
team leads and OAG -- who seem most likely to be able to provide
detail.  We have strong OAG participants in relevant ebXML
workgroups, and it is my impression they are minding the compatibility
issue.   
Generally, in my view, the ebXML BP work is deliberately agnostic
to the data design of individual business documents.  BPSS at
present is perfectly happy passing X12 or EDIFACT messages, OAGIS BODs,
RosettaNet, etc. as its "documents" being transported and
logically associated.   It would also properly envelope
cuneiform tablets, if there is a BabyloniaML XML expression of
them.  We thought that was important to permit
adoption.    Regards  Jamie
