Title: RE: [regrep] Describing ebXML Reg/Rep - observations from Santa Fe

Anne,

 

I know 
of several industry groups with ongoing ebXML projects, 
including:

 

- 
Insurance (ACORD) both US and Europe

- 
Chemical (CIDX)

- 
Energy (IEC, Australia)

- 
Automotive (STAR, et al)

 

The 
"buzz" behind this support is that ebXML is technically superior to "plain old 
SOAP", and meets critical needs (e.g. security, reliability, context 
based routing) important to businesses. 

 

I 
don't understand why you believe it's "unfortunate" that businesses 
aren't limiting their use of ebXML for "private 
projects". 

 

Unfortunate for who? 

 

My 
clients are very happy with their ebXML E-Commerce solution - it meets 
their needs.

I'm familiar with GM and DRIve. Sage is new to me. But you're 
  talking about 
three installations. I also know about 
  Korea and DealerSphere. I'm sure you 
can probably come 
  up with a dozen or two more. Even so, that's not what I 
would call wide adoption. UDDI has hundreds of installations. 
  Mostly 
private -- but a few public systems, too, such 
  as ISEC. 

  
I think it's unfortunate that folks don't consider ebXML for 
  private 
projects. Perhaps that's an area to focus 
  on. 

  
Anne
