Fw: TP EDI Enabled ?

["William J. Kammerer" <wkammerer@foresightcorp.com>]

I didn't prompt this guy.  But see the attached e-mail (bottom)
addressed to the EDI-L listserve.  The author, Michael Taylor, suffers
from the same problem many or most of his fellow practitioners have -
hooking up with his existing trading partners.  He probably doesn't need
help finding new trading partners.  This problem is consonant with, and
addressed by, my e-mail to Transport, Packaging and Routing at
http://lists.ebxml.org/archives/ebxml-transport/200101/msg00151.html,
where I muse:

   Surely, a powerful, omnipotent and all-encompassing registry
   and repository ("Oz"), which can track down all the plumbers
   in Cleveland, Ohio (to take one of the examples in a RegRep
   e-mail) or tell me who will sell me car stereos and does
   Rosetta Net PIP3A4 (a use case in ebXML Registry Services
   Version 0.82), could do something as simple as giving me the
   public key, the HTTP URL or SMTP e-mail address for the MSH,
   and other miscellany of my partner -  assuming I can give it
   a list of IDs on which it can search.

The "EDI Yellow Pages" Taylor refers to is touched upon in my original
diatribe "Registry/Repository questions and comments," at
http://lists.ebxml.org/archives/ebxml-regrep/200101/msg00048.html.

Subject: TP EDI Enabled ?


What is the easiest way to determine if a trading partner is EDI
Enabled?  I'd like to look up our top 30 suppliers and I need contact
names, EDI transaction sets enabled, and Implementation Guides.  There
use to be an "EDI Yellow Pages" that at least listed the EDI contact
name and number.  Does this still exist? I'm finding that EDI
Information is not listed on most Web Sites.  Any ideas would be
appreciated.
