Ron, If the conceptual model is being developed by a group that is sponsored by a federal agency (such as NIST), I believe (but could be wrong) that it has to be considered public information.

However, I am aware of at least one effort that is attempting to build a framework (conceptual model) of various ebusiness standards. That conceptual model is being developed by an team within the eBusiness Standards Convergence (eBSC) Forum - see http://www.mel.nist.gov/div826/msid/sima/ebsc/index.htm > > I am a member of the team that is building the conceptual model. One of the stated purposes of the conceptual model is "To provide an approach for standards developers to effectively communicate eBusiness-standards-related concepts among one another promoting more effective standards development, cross-industry standards collaboration, and standards adoption and deployment" Since the conceptual model is only in draft form and not ready yet for public review, I am not at liberty to share it at this time. > > Ron Schuldt > Senior Staff Systems Architect > Lockheed Martin Enterprise Information Systems > 11757 W.
