The June 2000 Issue of XML-Journal includes "Introducing ebXML," by Bob
Sutor, IBM's program director for XML technology and a member of the
OASIS board of directors, and vice chair of ebXML, at
http://www.sys-con.com/xml/archives/0102/sutor/.
This is another good background article on ebXML. I got a chuckle out
of Sutor's observation that "[ebXML's first meeting held in San Jose]
wasn't without its share of politics. Of course, I'm apolitical - as
long as the thing is implementable as a B2B interoperable framework, I
couldn't care less that the ideas may have come from Sterling Commerce,
Vitria, IBM, CommerceOne, the OMG, Group 8760, Boeing, Sun Microsystems,
GXS, W3C, IETF, Siemens, TIE Commerce, DISA, CEN/ISSS, CMASS, UCC/EAN,
UN/CEFACT, ASC X12, OpenTravel Alliance, First Data, Telcordia, LMI,
CommerceNet, HP, RosettaNet, Solectron, VerticalNet, S.W.I.F.T., NACHA,
CompTIA, Price Waterhouse, or any of the other active participants too
numerous to list.
And I am no less enthusiastic even if ideas from XML Global, David RR
Webber's own employer, find their way into ebXML.
