Re: [regrep] Fw: [egov] Interoperability among Types of Registries

[Farrukh Najmi <Farrukh.Najmi@Sun.COM>]

I share your concern Nikola. That is why I have suggested that we do 
registry comparisons based on an objective process and an agreed upon 
set of requirements. See attached message:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/egov/200310/msg00031.html

I have also forwarded your email to the egov TC:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/egov/200310/msg00032.html

Thanks for raising this issue.

BTW I feel that the ebXML Registry TC should be committed to going the 
extra mile to meet the requirements identified by the egov TC. We are 
well poised to meet most requirements with version 3 and could fill in 
the rest with version 4. The result would be that egov could count on 
one single registry standard (ebXML Registry) for meeting all their 
requirements.
