Last evening I attended a technology session (Semantic Web) here in the Washington D.C. area, and the discussion drifted briefly toward adoption of ebXML worldwide. Several attendees expressed sentiments that it appears that ebXML (as a whole) is gaining a lot of traction in Europe and Asia, but not here in the US (please note: I am not expressing my view, but rather the view of the attendees). One attendee noted the following 3 recent articles on ebXML Forum: - "Report recommends adoption of ebXML for European public administration networks" - "Two new ebXML applications unveiled in Hong Kong" - "ebXML gains traction in Japan" My questions are: (1) Is this observation valid? (2) If so, what is the projected future direction of ebXML adoption here in the US? Will it increase, decrease, or remain the same? (3) If we were to consider the various "components" of ebXML (business processes, registry, collaboration, etc.) rather than ebXML as a framework, do any components in particular look more promising than others for adoption here in the US?
