Ron, Thanks for the interesting links. One never stops learning ;-) While on the topic of implementation/adoption: you and many others on the list will be familiar with the fact that part of every technology adoption, be it in a private or public organization, is getting non-technical management's approval. To do so, one must report. Can you give me some best practices on how to report the alphabet soup - the difference/interrelations between UDEF, CCTS, ebXML, WSDL, UDDI, and, and, and... The IT world of today is full of thriving acronyms that are difficult to follow and virtually impossible to communicate in a nutshell. Is there a globally recognized, neutral, more or less comprehensive list of acronyms with a schema what technology fits where and what is it good for - a kind of who's who in the acronym mess? If not, I think creating one would greatly facilitate interoperability efforts since IT people will make their needs clear to decisionmakers. I would be happy to work on setting such page up and maintaining it - maybe even as part of the work on the GFP topic on Ecommerce and business [1]. Actually, in case such who's who doesn't exist, please regard this mail as a call to start an open process on the topic. If enough volunteers write me on or off list, I'll set up some kind of discussion forum. Please indicate your background, and views on the presentation of the theme. Also, what would be the critical mass of participants for the success of such undertaking, in your opinion?
