Dear Anders and Joseph, you should not forget the SEEM cluster of projects with many RTD rojects funded by the European Commission who are using parts of ebXML nad researching some complementary parts. In addition, the Single European Electronic Market initiative uses ebXML as a starting point as well. I hope this help.
