Subject: ebxml jc 2/23/2005: Status Summary of ebXML Specifications
As we discussed 9 February, an overview of the specification progress
was needed. Here is a brief, albeit draft summary. Comments welcome and
inputs appreciated. I apologize ahead of time for the lateness of this
information. Thank you. Reminder about today's call at 7:30 a.m. PST:
* ebMS: v3.0
o Draft in work. F2F held in January 2005, however progress
has been slower than anticipated with a small group.
o Although progress has been slow, key changes are in work
such as integration with WS-Reliability, payload services,
security improvements, WS-I BP conformance, at a minimum.
o Working document reference:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ebxml-msg/download.php/11373/wd-ebms-3_0.html
(February 2005)
o Status: May meet at OASIS symposium. No projected date for
v3.0 Committee Draft status.
* ebReg/Rep: v3.0
o RIM and RS achieved Committee Draft in February 2005. Public
review has begun. Si
o Review notice: Public review continues to 14 March 2005.
Significant improvements have been made including SAML
support, WS-I BP compliance, event notification, content
management capabilities, etc.
o Specification references:

o FAQ summary: http://www.ebxml.org/ebusinessxmlregistry.pdf
o Capabilities summary update:
http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2005-02-14-a.html (from Cover Pages)
* ebCPPA v2.1
o Errata v2.1 distributed in draft form in early February
2005. Work continues slowly on negotiation
o and alignment with ebMS and ebBP specification development
in the areas of role bindings, transactions, etc.
o Progress has been made in abstracting some of the ebCPPA
concepts to enable effective use of many underlying
protocols such as those for web services, AS2 etc.
o Errata v2.1 reference:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ebxml-cppa/document.php?document_id=11280
* ebBP v2.0
* v2.0 Working draft is entering formal TC review starting today, 23
February 2005. Package includes schema, XSLT example transform for
v1.01=>2.0 migration, signals schema and example, comments and
work item list, glossary. Many improvements have been made in
state transitions, composability (ComplexBTA and
OperationMapping), role binding and monitoring constructs. In
addition, the BT patterns have been concretized and extensible
patterns developed to enable the user community.
* Working package was uploaded (and then revised) 22 February 2005.
A pre-notification has been developed for key user communities to
solicit early comments and investment. This will be distributed
after the working draft enters the TC formal review (internal
only) in preparation for Committee Draft vote.

* Pre-notification reference:

* ebXML IIC v1.1
o In January 2005, the IIC updated its conformance and
interoperability packages including the IIC framework and
achieved v1.1 Committee Draft status. This v1.1 update
provides many improvements, and has also resulted in a
freely available implementation from NIST. Improvements
include more comprehensive web services and ebXML testing
support. The team has also been working with OASIS on
interoperability planning for expanded activities within
OASIS standardization development and with a TAB subteam
that is investigating how to rationalize conformance
criteria (including informal discussions with W3C).
