Rainer, My apologies for not responding sooner ( I have been skiing in Colorado and at the UBL meeting taking place this week in Denver). Absolutely, there is material that shows the direct relationship between UBL and CCTS. I would encourage you to have a look at the plenary presentation I gave at XML 2002 in Baltimore. Let me know and I will send it to you. Is there any way you can send me the article, or author's name/email so I can provide clarification?

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.
