[Copying OASIS/ebXML Registry TC and Core Components Review SC on this
XML-DEV response]

Jonathan,

I would like to propose a solution for you that is not solidified today,
but is in process. It is a combination of the following 2 items:

(1) A data modeling methodology called UN/CEFACT-ebXML Core Components
(which is very similar to your description)
(2) Use of an ebXML Registry

For more on (1), please see my recent XML-DEV posting [1] which includes
a URL to a presentation I gave earlier this year on Core Components. We
are in the process of writing an OASIS Technical Note for the
implementation of Core Components in an ebXML Registry.

For more on (2), please see the following recent links:

- ebXML Registry Brochure (start reading at top right):
http://xml.coverpages.org/EbizXMLRegistry200310.pdf

- New Production-Ready Release of Open Source ebXML Registry:
http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2003-09-17-a.html

- Release of OASIS/ebXML Registry 2.5 specifications:
http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2003-06-26-a.html

- Adobe acquisition of Yellow Dragon Software, an ebXML Registry vendor:
http://xml.coverpages.org/AdobeYellowDragon.html

And lastly: If you are an OASIS member (or would like to be), we would
be very happy to have you join the OASIS/ebXML Registry TC [2]. Please
feel free to contact me offline if you are interested.

Kind Regards,
Joe Chiusano
