Subject: AW: [ubl-dev] UBL vs
UN/CEFACT
Hello Danny and Roberto,
especially, mentioning UN/EDIFACT the point
is, that UN/EDIFACT was there for a long time before UBL came up. As far as I
remember, UBL came up, during the time of the ebXML project. So indeed, you
could turn the question just the other way round.

Hello Danny,
probably you can find some answers into the MoU
for eBusiness where OASIS has been invited:
http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/e-business/mou/
and
following the link "Key Standards" under Resources, you will find UBL
too:
http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/e-business/mou/MoUMG-standards.html
In
few words the MoU on eBusiness is promoting collaboration and re-use of
existing standards within partecipants.
UBL was in the agenda of the
MoU/Management Group
http://xml.coverpages.org/MoU-MG-OASIS2002.pdf
http://xml.coverpages.org/MOU-OASIS-200202.html
Compared to UN/EDIFact, UBL can be considered as the eBusiness
kernel, just like ISO20022-UNIFI is the eFinance kernel and WCO is the Customs
kernel, so on...
So I understood it was a logic path to create a unique
integrated set of business documents & messages for the whole Financial
Supply Chain.
UBL was effectively into this path from a long time,
expecially due to the MoU.
Today the possibility to endorse OASIS and
W3C Standards by European Standardization bodies is providing new instruments
to protect the best practices and standardization efforts provided by relevant
Open Consortium (aka User Groups).

Hope
this helps,
Best regards,
Roberto Cisternino

Dear all,
I just recently got the question what has been the
reason for starting the development of UN/CEFACT whereas UBL was already
available. I have been reading a lot about this but apart from the CCTS
approach that has been worked out much further within UN/CEFACT I do not
really find the answer.
Any one out there that has been there from
the start remembers why ?
kind regards
Danny
