ebXML is a set of specifications to enable Internet
based, business-to-business electronic commerce. EbXML leverages
many of the web service standards. In many cases, ebXML extends
the standards to provide a more robust facility for exchanging
information.
The primary components of ebXML are
- ebMS - Message
Service
- ebCPP -
Collaboration Protocol Profile ebRIM - Registry Information
Model
- ebRS -
Registry Services
- ebBPSS - Business Process Specification
Schema
- ebTA - Technical Architecture
|
ebXML is governed by OASIS.
It should be noted that many of the specifications that are in
ebXML have significant overlap with many of the new specifications
coming out of IBM and Microsoft. For now, industries are being
forced to choose between the competing specifications. It is anticipated
that in the near future, one of the efforts will subsume the other
or efforts will be made to make them compatible.
