RE: [ebxml-dev] UBL Schemas Released for Public Review

[Rainer Volz <rv@vrtprj.com>]

Mark,

is there material showing this? I'm asking because a recent, rather positive
article about ebXML in "Computerwoche" (IDG's German edition of
Computerworld) mentions an unclear or competitive relationship betwen CC and
UBL.
