Subject: Re: UN/CEFACT to introduce BCF to European Capitals
Klaus: Thank you for the clarification. Although I had originally been in favour of harmonization of SOAP and ebXML MS and UDDI/Regrep, after giving it a second thought, it may make more sense to keep them separate. The reasons? IMO - SOAP and ebXML MS both do essentially the same thing, but each have a different set of requirements for why a user would adopt them. SOAP is much more efficient and lightwieght than ebXML MS, yet ebXML offers the features that business users need for most transactions. SOAP is useful to have as a lightwieght option in cases where the features of ebXML MS are not required. Likewise, many ebXML MS adoptees have stated that they used that spec becuase SOAP did not meet all their requirements. UDDI and ebXML RR have a similar relationship. If no content management is needed and only a simply directory like reference is needed, UDDI may suffice. For deployments where the advanced features of ISO/IEC 11179 are needed (such a content lifecycle management) ebXMLrr is a clear winner. I use an anaogy of transportation. I am currently in Ottawa. When I arrived at the airport, I had a choice of taking a bus, taxi, limosine or walking to my hotel. All would have got me there, but in this case, a taxi was a clear winner for my requirements. That does not mean that the public bus service shoudl fold and merge with the local taxi company becuase some people would use that. BCF is a nice guide to help map the businesss requirements to the FSV components. In short, having these choices will ensure that users have their requirements met. One should note that ebXML Registry/Repository actually uses SOAP in the specification for a binding and ebXML MS uses SOAP as the basis.
