Subject: OASIS MEMBER NEWS: XMLSOLUTIONS PARTICIPATES IN THE EBXML GLOBAL INITIATIVE WITH THE UNITED NATIONS AND OASIS


McLean, VA (December 14, 1999) – XMLSolutions announces participation and
support of the Electronic Business XML Initiative (ebXML).   The United
Nations body for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) and
the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards
(OASIS), have joined forces to initiate a worldwide project to standardize
XML business specifications.  ebXML has invited organizations to join in
their efforts to create a cohesive framework that will enable XML to be
utilized for the exchange of all electronic business information.

XMLSolutions is proud to be one of more than 50 companies, consortiums, and
international standards bodies participating in the ebXML initiative. The
first ebXML meeting was held November 17 – 19 in San Jose, California.

“XMLSolutions expertise and commitment provide us with a tremendous
opportunity to advance the ebXML standard. XMLSolutions joins a growing list
of very dynamic companies that will continue to evangelize the benefits of
this open and flexible framework,” stated Rik Drummond, CEO of the Drummond
Group.

“XMLSolutions is very excited about the opportunity to participate in the
ebXML standard.  This global standard offers a great opportunity for
deploying an open XML standard for e-business,” stated Doug Hopeman, VP of
EDI at XMLSolutions.
