Background: ebXML (electronic business XML) is an initiative sponsored by OASIS and UN/CEFACT to create "a modular suite of specifications that enables enterprises of any size and in any geographical location to conduct business over the Internet."
One of the specifications in the ebXML suite deals with XML registries and repositories: "The OASIS ebXML Registry TC develops specifications to achieve interoperable registries and repositories, with an interface that enables submission, query and retrieval on the contents of the registry and repository." Details can be found at: http://www.ebxml.org/ http://www.ebxml.org/specs/index.htm#technical_specifications http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/regrep/ As part of our work on the ebXML initiative, Sun Microsystems Inc. has developed a JavaTM based implementation of the registry and repository specification that we have shown on various occasions such as trade show demos. We have received numerous inquiries from many different parts of the developer community expressing interest in being able to work on this implementation to produce a fully specification compliant implementation. Sun has determined and given approval for making this implementation available to an open source community. Consequently, we would like to submit this proposal to the members of the Apache XML project for consideration of accepting this donation as a sub-project. Thank you very much for your attention to and consideration for this proposal. We look foward to your questions, comments, or concerns.
