Mary Kay, I fail to see why you feel that Alan should have both personally attended any of the ebXML CC meetings or contacted you directly in order to write his book. If these kinds of efforts and activities were a prerequisite for any author writing a book on any topic, we would soon have no writings at all!
I know Alan and trust that he has thoroughly researched his topic. Why not read what he has to say and then critique it from your viewpoint rather than attacking the author for not personally contacting you as part of his research?

As one of the co-chairs of ebXML Core Components, I find it curious that this book would have been written without any contact with me. Or without attendance at all of the ebXML Core Components meetings. Maybe those of us who did attend the meetings should write a book? Mary Kay -----Original Message----- From: David RR Webber - XMLGlobal To: XML/edi Group; eBTWG List Sent: 10/4/01 9:12 AM Subject: Core Components eBook With timely precision Alan has just published an eBook on Core Components - designed as an introduction to the whole area. Core Components : Delivering on the ebXML Promise by Alan Kotok / http://www.mightywords.com/browse/browse_titles_bc04.jsp?quickKeywords=k otok&x=29&y=13 I know many people are grappling to understand the essentials here - so I'm sure Alan's briefing provides a significant starting point for people to work forward from. Against the backdrop of the ongoing efforts to develop and deploy these technologies its refreshing to see someone taking an objective step back and helping us all see the bigger picture from an observers stance.
