Subject: RE: ebxml challenges...
Hi Stephen, Not sure US Government is continuing with ANSI-X12. You probably received the mail from Mark Crawford saying : [... Actually, using 11179 and CCTS will standardize the construct of the data element names as well as the metadata. The key is using those two ISO standards (yes ccts is ISO 15000-5 (Draft)) in conjunction with a recognized international standards body who maintains the vocabulary. UN/CEFACT TBG is beginning to build that vocabulary, and many standards bodies - including UBL - have committed to submitting their 11179/CCTS vocabularies to help that effort. I should also mention that many agencies in the US Government, as well as other governments have already committed to using this new approach. ] The last sentence shows clearely the US Gov commitement to go with ebXML/CCTS, being ISO 15000-5 TS very soon. Kind regards, Jean-Luc Champion UN/CEFACT Forum TBG1 Chair -----Message d'origine----- De : Stephen GOULD [mailto:sggould@oic.org] Envoy� : vendredi 16 juillet 2004 11:59 � : ebxml-dev@lists.ebxml.org Cc : OIC Management Committee Objet : Re: ebxml challenges... David - you are right. Only Telecos, Banks and ISPs make money out of e-Commerce. IT professionals cannot earn a living out of e-commerce until we change the rules whereby people are paid for contributing and participating. This need for this change has been made in a submission to the Australian Government re the Aus-USA-Free Trade Agreement http://www.oic.org/z/XZIG/A/cs/ZXAAECS1.htm The full details of the submissions by the OIC XML & E-commerce Special Interest Group [XZIG] to the Senate Inquiry on the FTA can be reviewed on http://www.oic.org/z/XZIG/A/cs XZIG is concerned that as the US Government uses ANSI-X12 and Australia has a treaty obligation to use ISO Standards (EDIFACT) there is: 1 going to be an enormous invisible ISP translation cost for SMEs 2 time and date conflicts with the many varieties of ISO 8601 3 concerns ebXML has not provided a solution for a simple company name and address format that can be used by all applications This is why in 2002 XZIG members developed an XML Standard Government Tender template because there are 8 different tender formats with Australian State Government http://www.smeems.net/cpr/be/3she/a2eaesp4.htm This was submitted to ebXML Australia in 2002 but as far as we know it was not forwarded to the appropriate group for consideration Government tenders are the first step of the Government e-business process hence the need for a standard that all Government tenders use http://www.oic.org/guest.htm NEXT STEPS I would appreciate any feed-back on: 1 is an e-credits system acceptable as part of e-commerce contracts 2 how many US Government States use ANSI-X12 3 any people prepared to work on implementing a standard ebXML e-tender system as part of the Aus-USA-FTA If you would like to work on projects or any other Australian projects you are required to be a member of the Open Interchange Consortium http://www.oic.org/3d1.htm regards Stephen GOULD Chair - Management Committee XML & E-COMMERCE SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP OPEN INTERCHANGE CONSORTIUM E: sggould@oic.org M: 0416-009-468 T: {61}(2) 9953-7412 W: http://www.oic.org/3a4a.htm On 15 Jul 04, at 9:53, davidlyon wrote: > > > Thanks for replying to my earlier questions.
