What is ebXML?
Electronic Business using eXtensible Markup Language (ebXML) is a standards framework created by UN/CEFACT and OASIS. ebXML’s mission is “To provide an open XML-based infrastructure enabling the global use of electronic business information in an interoperable, secure and consistent manner by all parties.” ebXML has five main areas of focus: • Business processes – Business Process Schema Specification • Register business processes – Registry & Repository • Define trading relationships – Collaborative Partner Profiles & Agreements • Common terms for business data – Core Components • Reliably exchange business messages – Message Services The ebXML framework is a loosely coupled group of standards that was built concurrently. The end result is that each major standard may be implemented independent of the others.
ebXML is a modular suite of specifications that enables enterprises of any size and in any geographical location to conduct business over the Internet. Using ebXML, companies now have a standard method to exchange business messages, conduct trading relationships, communicate data in common terms and define and register business processes.
