RE: [ebxml-mktg-sc] 6/5/2003: Four Case Studies

Mark, et al.

The ebXML initiative approved BPSS in the first round of specifications in 
May 2001.  The UN/CEFACT plenary ratified BPSS, along with the other 
completed ebXML specifications this week; see 
http://www.oasis-open.org/news/oasis_news_06_03_03b.php .  RosettaNet is 
using the binary collaboration part of BPSS; see 
http://www.oasis-open.org/news/oasis_news_06_03_03a.php .  Vendors are 
beginning to implement BPSS; see http://www.iopsis.com/products/insight.htm .

The disinformation being spread about ebXML reminds me of the Chico Marx 
line in the film A Day at the Races: "Who you gonna believe, me or your own 
two eyes?"
