[ebxml-dev] IDA report on Business to business frameworks for Interchange of Data between Administrations

IDA is a European Commission driven strategic initiative using
advances in information and communications technology to support rapid
electronic exchange of information between Member State
administrations. The objective is to improve Community
decision-making, facilitate operation of the internal market and
accelerate policy implementation.

Today, the results of a study on Business to business frameworks 
for IDA networks were published here:

http://europa.eu.int/ISPO/ida/jsps/doc.jsp?1564

>>From the executive summary:

"The study has shown that ebXML is the only framework that is at the
same time generic and flexible, and can be used for
inter-administrations relations. Moreover, ebXML is clearly the only
trend for organised business communities. The general recommendation
is to follow ebXML standards as much as possible. This is coherent
with the fact that many exchanges between European administrations
reflect the interactions between those administrations and the
national business world."
