From: Pim van der Eijk [mailto:lists@sonnenglanz.net] Sent: 06 December 2004 17:43 To: ebxml-dev@lists.ebxml.org Subject: [ebxml-dev] UK National Health Service (NHS) National Programme for Information Technology uses ebXML Messaging I’m pleased to announce that a new
case study was posted at the ebXML.org Web site: http://www.ebxml.org/case_studies/NHS-ebMSG-casestudy-041206.pdf
The The Transaction and Messaging
Service provides the communications infrastructure for the National Programme.
It serves to interconnect regional network clusters managed by Local Service
Providers (LSPs) and national services such as systems for electronic booking
and transmission of prescriptions. The technology framework used for TMS is
based on a large number of advanced technical specifications and standards. This
includes the ebXML Messaging Service OASIS Standard. Within the TMS Spine, ebXML
is used to provide reliable messaging functionality. National services such as
the Electronic Booking Service (Choose and Book) and Electronic Transmission of
Prescriptions are accessed using pairs of XML request and response documents.
These documents are transported within the NHS network as ebXML messages.
With an anticipated yearly volume of
over 5.000.000.000 message by 2010, TMS is likely to be among the largest
messaging systems in production in the world. For this very reason, TMS is also
likely to be among the larger systems worldwide that will use the ebXML
Messaging OASIS Standard. Sincere congratulations to everyone
involved in this very significant project! Pim van der
