RE: [ebxml-dev] Gartner and ebXML

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

Its funny that Gartner likes to talk about standards, but is clueless when it 
comes to the standard definition of a web service:


 | Definition: A Web service is a software application identified by a URI,
 | whose interfaces and binding are capable of being defined, described and
 | discovered by XML artifacts and supports direct interactions with other
 | software applications using XML based messages via internet-based
 | protocols
 |
