Duane Nickull says the discovery stuff - i.e., identifying which trading
partners are capable of engaging into a given electronic business
transaction and who provide certain products and services - is
"explicitly out of scope of ebXML." Further, "The discovery phase has
not been addressed in the TA Spec nor have they been included in any
discussions. I did not recall it being included in the Requirements
Document which mandated our Technical Architecture Specification."
This is what I thought was in all the Requirements drafts before
Brussels. Who took it out? Will we ever know? -the Requirements
document approved at the Brussels plenary is not available at
http://www.ebxml.org/specindex.htm. It's not available at the
Requirements Project Team working directory, either. Does anybody know
where it is? Did we lose it?
