In that brief presentation I described how an ebXML Registry is not just for design time but is playing several different roles for benefit of end-users and run-time. I started by using the following analogy: "ebReg is to web services what relational databases were to enterprise applications" If we ask the question: Are relational databases needed by enterprise applications only at run time? Of course we come to the conclusion that the answer is: NO ebXML Registry may have started with the idea of being a place to manage CPP/A, BPSS, UBL schemas etc. but it was designed as a general purpose Content Management solution. I lead an open source project that implements ebReg: http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net Out of some 100+ users of our ebReg implementation, no more that 5 use it at design time. All the remainder use it at run time and for use by actual end users. Here are some examples: SDMX ---------- A group of major financial institutions such as IMF, World Bank, Swiss Banks etc. use ebXML Registry to manage third world debt statistics. A live registry may be seen at: http://sdmx.oecd.org/sdmxDemo/index.jsp Apelon ---------- A provider of clinical software uses an ebXML Registry to manage and serve medical guidelines and protocols. The end users are doctors and nurses. http://www.apelon.com HL7 ------ NIST in the US Government operates an ebXML Registry to manage HL7 Conformance templates. It is used by the HL7 user community. http://hcxw2k1.nist.gov:8080/hl7services/index.jsp The above examples are just a few I could think of to show that ebXML Registry is not just for design time and in fact is much more useful at run-time. If this issue continues to recur then I suggest that we schedule a discussion in this in a subsequent TC con call so we can reach a common understanding on this important issue. -- Respectfully, Farrukh >r/ John Weiland > >-----Original Message----- >From: Farrukh Najmi [mailto:Farrukh.Najmi@Sun.COM] >Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 7:53 AM >To: Hans A.
