RE: [xtm-wg] Notes of Marketing Committee Teleconference - mondeca product presentation ?

[Sam Hunting <sam_hunting@yahoo.com>]

We (EComXML) would like some space on the agenda as well -- in software
presentations would be best, since we do software, but market
applications is possible as well, if the software segment of the
program cannot be lengthened to accommodate us.

Here is our abstract from XML Developers Day, which presumably we could
cut down to use for this presentation:

<quote>
An ebXML Party DiscoveryProcess Using XTM (Topic Map) Syntax 
Executable design for a topic map engine that supports the party
discovery process specified by ebXML
Sam Hunting, EComXML

Thanks for your consideration.
