Subject: UBL Processes
Hi, I have read occasionally that the processes defined by UBL (which I understand to cover the order-acceptance 'pattern' and by that effectively the complete supply chain management domain) do actually cover most of the collaboration kinds found in general business communication. Related to this understanding I have a couple of questions: - is the above somewhere near to a correct understanding? - can someone point me to metarial that shows the heritage of UBL (or should I just dig into ebXML, EDI or RosettaNet?) - does anyone have any practical experience of applying UBL outside the "ordering goods or services" domain I think that a domain not covered by the order-acceptance pattern is the domain of service provisioning and the related issues of service management. My understanding is that in this domain, the essential aspect is the service promise made by the service provider (manifested in an SLA for example) and that the collaborations of servicemanagement are essentially different from the ones made in the SCM patterns. Does this make any sense? Has anyone applied UBL to service management (can a service promise be seen as an offer?). Thanks in advance for any hints or resources to help me find a reasonable start into the above issues. For something completely different: My aim is to apply UBL to HTTP-based interactions (=> REST) and naturally I am troubled with UBL not having its own MIME type. Would anyone be interested in going through the effort of having e.g. application/ubl+xml regsitered with the IETF? Jan
