Report for ebMS Committee - 3rd quarter 2003 ebMS Interoperability Test

Hi all,

 

For your information, attached is a formal report to the
committee from Drummond Group, Inc.,

on the results of the latest ebXML Message Service
Specification Interoperability Test facilitated

by Drummond through the eBusinessReady.org program.

 

We hope that this report is useful in helping the committee
understand what features are being

implemented, the level of interoperability and the
additional consensus agreements we have 

found necessary to provide interoperability between multiple
product offerings of the standard.

 

We are encouraged that during the test seven software
vendors with nine products total were able 

to prove interoperability through a rigorous and mature
process, including vendors that were new to 

the DGI/UCC eBusinessReady program. It is a strong testament
to the hard work of many and the

underlying quality of the standard. 

 

A notable feature of the last test was the interoperability
of six vendors over XML Encryption and 

SSL Client Authentication features as prescribed by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

 

There is also a more detailed Final Report located at http://www.ebusinessready.org/ebxml.html

 

Sincerely,

 

Mike Dillon
