| Abstract: |
Last month, UN/CEFACT, the main sponsor of B2B standards such as EDI and ebXML, announced a new enterprise architecture, which not only adds support for Web Services standards but also cleanly separates transport and messaging layers from business syntax and semantics. This announcement paves the way to a universal architecture and methodology that will have a major impact on electronic business this century. |
| Backgrounder: |
In the past ebXML was seen as a competing standard to Web Services; the new framework combines the important work the UN has placed in the public domain defining business process and schema and plugs in appropriate transport, service description and discovery standards such as SOAP, WSDL and UDDI. Existing users of ebXML or EDI standards are fully supported in the new framework but a clear convergence path to Web Services has emerged which we believe will add a universal appeal to the framework.
