The goals of this implementation included:

   - Prove feasibility of end to end ebXML Implementation
   - Clarify benefits from such an approach
   - Provide “go forward” strategy and reference implementation
   - Promote knowledge & adoption of ebXML

The business processes were modelled visually using a UML-derivative, and 
then the executable BPSS definition was generated automatically.  

The scenario that we implemented was that of Used Vehicle Sales (eg. off-
lease, employee returns, etc.) for a large Auto OEM.  This scenario, and 
related transactions (inventory availability search, quotes, purchases, credit 
checks, confirmations, etc.) was selected since it would have the greated 
"understandability" throughout the organization.  Supply Chain was 
considered...but the terminology and problems in automating supply chain can 
be rather specialized and not "ring" with the general user population.

Hope this helps.....
