E-Commerce Standard Plans Made Public January 28, 2003 By Thor Olavsrud E-business interoperability consortium OASIS Tuesday said the first draft of a royalty-free data method for international electronic commerce has been released by one of its technical groups. The new OASIS schemas encompass the Universal Business Language (UBL). UBL is a standard for XML (define) document formats that encode business messages, such as purchase orders and invoices. UBL treats business-to-business (B2B) communication across all industry sectors and domains for all types of organizations, including small- and medium- sized enterprises. -- Internet trivia, 20th anv: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/rfcietff.htm
