RE: Trading Partner Logical Identification based on EDIFACT or X12qualifiers

David,

We must be practical here, do you really expect Amazon to query a ebXML
repository for information, I don't think this is practical. The repository
MUST be an OPTIONAL part of an ebXML transaction exchange, do we agree? I
really don't expect Amazon or any other interactive site to change their
existing systems/databases/repositories to adhere to ebXML's regrep API.

Regarding your question:

I've had numerous conversations with Satish Thatte, Microsoft's BizTalk
Framework 2 architect about the possible ways BizTalk and ebXML might work
together. I expect to have more news on this front after the W3C XML
Protocols activity begins.
