Product Description

ebXML is a framework of specifications that enables businesses to collaborate electronically using XML-based technologies. The framework comprises modular components, addressing each of the key functions required to implement a complete e-business solution. These functions include: defining business processes and associated roles and activities, creating and publishing business profiles in a registry, storing business information in a repository, searching for other business partners, agreeing trading protocols, creating business documents, and sending them via secure and reliable messaging systems.

ebXML is open, interoperable, and affordable. Maintained by industry consortia (OASIS and UN/CEFACT) and based on XML, it allows companies to benefit from electronic trading via a global network regardless of size or geographical location, both within and across industries.

4.0 out of 5 stars Six sections cover it all, February 26, 2002

By	Darshan Singh (Schaumburg, IL USA) - See all my reviews

Definitely a good book to learn ebXML and its role in the Web services world. Don't worry if you are not familiar with technologies such as SOAP, or UDDI, the book covers it all.

The first section begin with an introduction to ebXML and modeling techniques, followed by the introduction to SOAP. The next five sections go in great detail with topics such as BPSS, ebXML registries/repositories, UDDI, ebXML Messaging, Security and so on.

Overall, covers ebXML nicely.
