Have you been in touch with the Core Components and Business Process groups
about the idea of doing mapping of content, since it is those groups, IMO,
who should do the work.

Hi, David,

I agree with you since we talk about this part of work in the transportation

group. But if we have more time and resources and could think from standards

overall, including Core Components and Business Process, as well as 
transporataion layer, then I think it would be very beneficial to have 
comparison with different standards in different levels. It would help us 
understand better where ebXML really is better than other standards, where 
it needs to be improved. The comparison work will also help us to define 
comformance in the future and interoperability between ebXML and other 
standards.

Doug Dunting from Ariba told me he had been volunteered to do the comparison

work between ebXML and cXML earlier in a conference call, so we agreed that 
he is going to continue to do this comparison work. Since OAG actually is a 
content level standard, or document standard, there is no message part of 
comparison needed to be done between OAG and ebXML. That is to say, I don't 
need to do any comparison work here in transportation layer. I am glad about

that because I am quite busy recently. However I will do content level 
comparison among these standards whenever I have time.

I just have one request, that is, whenever anyone finish your work, please 
send to this email list so that everybody can share your work and 
experience.

Thank you very much for your clarification, thanks everyone for your work.
