RE: [ebXML-dev] UBL versus OAGI BODs?

["David Connelly (OAGI)" <dconnelly@openapplications.org>]

Hi Andrzej,

Good question.  OAGIS has a core component working team that you can join by
going here:  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OAGI-CoreComponents/

Both OAGIS XML and UBL will be contributing their core component work to
UN/CEFACT.  Both are built by not-for-profit consortiums with open processes
and Royalty-Free IP Policies.

UBL is quite new as you know, and OAGI has been building their library of
core components since 1995 and have customers running OAGIS XML live in at
least 40 countries around the world.  OAGIS XML is a solution today for
thousands of users and is quite rich in functionality.  OAGIS XML is perhaps
the leading business language for ebXML implementations today and is being
deployed all over the world as such.

OAGI has been working with ebXML & UN/CEFACT since ebXML was formed as UBL
is now working with UN/CEFACT.  OAGIS donated their entire body of OAGIS XML
work to ebXML in 2001 and OAGIS was recently elected as a Participating
International User Group to the MoU on e-Business Standards, which is run by
the four worlds de jure standards bodies.  UBL's parent organization is also
a part of the user group like OAGIS.

Although there seems to be overlap in the efforts, usually the more smart
people working on something the better and as UN/CEFACT moves towards
harmonizing CC efforts, both OAGIS XML and UBL will make their
contributions, along with others who choose to do so.

thanks,

dc

Not having had the time to investigate UBL yet, I was wondering if someone
could explain how UBL compares with the OAG BODs effort.  Is there any/lots
of overlap?
