Yes, sorry to say it Tom but I have had a
few people tell me, primarily from IBM and Microsoft, that ebXML is dead, that
WS-I associated standards are the only ones that matter, and that the WS-I
stack will simply end up replacing the entire ebXML stack. Calling a technology
dead, which has some adoption already but also has some overlap with another
stack, is the very definition of FUD.
It would be nice to think people that work
on standards wouldn’t use such tactics in order to get their own chosen
standards adopted, but it would also be naïve. We all know just how political
the standards process is. Twas ever thus and twill ever be.
Let me know if you would like to discuss
this further.

Sun already supports a dual registry strategy, as
does infravio. Others are likely to follow, WS-I fud notwithstanding.
Coexistence is surely the best approach.

I have
looked at the specs for v3 for the ebXML registry. Although the information
model looks more detailed than in UDDI my immediate thinking was that adding my
taxonomies in UDDI I can achieve a lot. And there are several implementations
of UDDI.
What
are your thoughts? Will vendors of UDDI registries add ebXML registry
functionality to their existing products? Or will there be a complete new set
of registry products coming?
