EBXML (Electronic Business eXtensible Markup Language)

Electronic Business using eXtensible Markup Language, commonly known as EBXML XML-based infrastructure that enables the global use of electronic business information in an interoperable, secure, and consistent manner by all trading partners.

While the EBXML standards adopted by ISO and OASIS seek to provide formal XML-enabled mechanisms that can be implemented directly, the EBXML architecture is focused on concepts and methodologies that can be more broadly applied to allow practitioners to better implement e-business solutions, typical supply chain transactions such as invoice, purchase order, ship notice and so on

The original project envisioned five layers of data specification, including XML standards for:

• Business processes
• Technical Architecture
• Collaboration protocol profile & agreements
• Core data components
• Messaging services
• Registries and repositories

EBXML provides a standard way to;

•   Exchange business messages.
•  Conduct training relationships.
