          XML Global Sells GoXML(tm) Registry to the           
US Government's National Institute of Standards and Technology 
---------------------------------------------------------------

  XML Global provides ebXML messaging and metadata registry
       technology to e-Business research initiative.

New York, N.Y., July 10th, 2002 - XML Global Technologies, Inc. 
(OTC BB: XMLG), a developer of XML middleware today announced 
that it has signed a sales agreement with the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) for GoXML(tm) Registry which
incorporates the latest in ebXML technology. The recently 
released GoXML Registry V3.0 product was purchased to provide 
a complete solution based on the ebXML Registry standards 
(http://www.ebxml.org).

"XML Global is providing key resources in the development of 
ebXML as an industry solution," stated John McAughtry, President
of XML Global, "and this most recent announcement is further 
evidence of the strength and importance of our technology. 
XML Global shares a commitment to efficient and cost effective
business integration solutions and we look forward to helping 
our partners meet their corporate and technical objectives. 
This order confirms that the US Government is appreciating 
the use of ebXML technologies," added McAughtry, "and we look
forward to partnering with additional government agencies 
and departments in the future."

"The effectiveness of e-Business is dependent on system 
interoperability," explained Lawell Kiing, CTO for XML Global, 
"and the ebXML standard is a critical link that is quickly 
becoming the backbone for global electronic commerce. GoXML(tm) 
Registry centralizes and organizes business documents, processes, 
and web services, then shares that information to enable 
business process integration. Collaborating with NIST in this 
research effort," continued Kiing, "will provide XML Global a 
valuable and proven reference implementation as well as an 
excellent foundation that organizations can model to deliver 
the next generation of e-Business technology." 

NIST will use the ebXML software primarily as a part of 
test-bed research work on ebXML in conjunction with the Open 
Applications Group (OAG) (www.openapplications.org). By using 
GoXML(tm) Registry NIST will be able to provide both ebXML 
Message Handling and metadata Registry components to underpin
the OAG/NIST test-bed architecture. This collaboration in the 
OAG/NIST test-bed work follows on from the ebXML Reference 
Implementation that XML Global has developed for the automotive
retail sector earlier this year.
