eBusiness in the fashion, textile, clothing and footwear industries

Hello,

I was contacted by  Piero Desabata of ENEA who is participating in the CEN Workshop eBusiness in the  fashion industry, textile, clothing and footwear - eBIZ
http://www.cen.eu/cen/Sectors/Sectors/ISSS/Workshops/Pages/EBIZ-TCF.aspx .   Four corner architecture concepts are very relevant to them, as they have a need  to interconnect various supplier and retail networks for SMEs across  Europe.
Newer technologies like AS4 and  the dynamic discovery technologies we are working on in BDXR are being  considered for their upcoming CWA.
The EBIZ TCF  workshop follows an earlier European project in these industries,  http://www.ebiz-tcf.eu/ .

I thought it would be a good idea to ask Piero or a colleague  to present their work at an upcoming meeting, for some of our specifications we  do not seem to have consensus on requirements yet so additional presentations  could be useful.
ENEA (in Bologna, Italy) has for many years been working on  standards-based technologies to support e-business for SMEs. They have been  involved in OASIS and CEN and have been active supporters of UBL and ebXML for  years. Piero is willing to present.
