Title: RE: [ebxml-dev] ebXML Party Identification

Anders,

<From> and <To> identify the "Trading Party" (Generic Term). <From> and <To> contain <PartyId>, value of which is some globally accepted unique identifier such as EAN Global Location Number - GLN. The child element <PartyId> would identify MSH. Further elements within <SOAP:Header><eb:MessageHeader> such as <eb:service> and <eb:Action> give the possibility to the MSH to decide which backend system is involved (or which department message must be routed to).

Kind regards,
Thomas Bikeev

There will often not be a one-to-one relationship between a organisation and
an MSH. For example a corporation might have multiple MSHs and one MSH might
serve multiple companies, e.g. different subsidiaries with different
DUNS-numbers.

Is the From/PartyID (original sender) and To/Party IDs (ultimate receiver)
in the ebXML MS Message Header intended to represent business parties or
MSHs?

Thanks in advance for any clarifications,
