E-Business XML)
Electronic Business using eXtensible Markup Language, commonly known as e-business XML, or ebXML as it is typically referred to as, is a family of XML based standards sponsored by OASIS and UN/CEFACT whose mission is to provide an open, XML-based infrastructure that enables the global use of electronic business information in an interoperable, secure and consistent manner by all trading partners .
ebXML was published in 1999 as an initiative of the United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) and the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS). The original project envisioned five layers of data specification, including XML standards for:
- Business processes,
- Collaboration protocol agreements,
- Core data components,
- Messaging, &
- Registries and repositories
ebXML is not itself a standard, rather, it is a container for several key specification standards administered by UN/CEFACT and OASIS. Key ebXML standards include ebXML Messaging Services, ebXML Registry , ebXML Business Process Specification Schema and ebXML Collaboration Protocol Profile and Agreement .
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has approved the following four ebXML specifications as the ISO 15000 standard, under the general title, Electronic business eXtensible markup language:
- ISO 15000-1: ebXML Collaborative Partner Profile Agreement
- ISO 15000-2: ebXML Messaging Service Specification
- ISO 15000-3: ebXML Registry Information Model
- ISO 15000-4: ebXML Registry Services Specification
OASIS technical committees retains the responsibility for maintaining and advancing the above specifications.
