Title: RE: [regrep] Describing ebXML Reg/Rep - observations from Santa Fe

Anne,

 

I know of several industry groups with ongoing ebXML projects, including:

 

- Insurance (ACORD) both US and Europe

- Chemical (CIDX)

- Energy (IEC, Australia)

- Automotive (STAR, et al)

 

The "buzz" behind this support is that ebXML is technically superior to "plain old SOAP", and meets critical needs (e.g. security, reliability, context based routing) important to businesses. 

 

I don't understand why you believe it's "unfortunate" that businesses aren't limiting their use of ebXML for "private projects". 

 

Unfortunate for who? 

 

My clients are very happy with their ebXML E-Commerce solution - it meets their needs.

I'm familiar with GM and DRIve. Sage is new to me. But you're talking about
three installations. I also know about Korea and DealerSphere. I'm sure you
can probably come up with a dozen or two more. Even so, that's not what I
would call wide adoption. UDDI has hundreds of installations. Mostly
private -- but a few public systems, too, such as ISEC.

I think it's unfortunate that folks don't consider ebXML for private
projects. Perhaps that's an area to focus on.
