Alan and I have put our best effort into producing a
solid text that can do justice to all the tremendous
amount of hardwork that has gone into ebXML todate,
and bringing that work to the decision makers that
most now determine its forward mommentum.
I must especially thank Alan for making this
project a joy to work on and for his impeccable
professional and balanced approach to the whole
project.
We have provided a tool here to help everyone
involved in ebXML now step the vision forward.
I hope you find it useful and helpful in
furthering the understanding of eBusiness and
its applicability to the real world.
Together we can all succeed in our own
small ways to improving the human condition.
Thanks, DW.
