This tutorial was delivered at the OASIS Symposium in San Francisco, May 2006. It provides an overview of the e-Business XML (ebXML) framework, as it is used today for integration in commerce, government and healthcare initiatives internationally.

Norway's National Insurance Administration (NIA) upgraded the EDI-based communications infrastructure it used to connect to its business partners with a new architecture based on open standards, including the ebXML Messaging OASIS Standard, ISO 15000-2. NIA's ebXML Message service was built using the Xenos terminalONE end-to-end, transaction gateway solution.

The ebXML Architecture spec was adopted as a Chinese National Standard in 2003, the number is GB/T 19256.1-2003. It can be found at the Standardization Administration of China.

The ebMS, CC, RegRep, BPSS, and CPP/A have all passed expert review and been forwarded to an agency known as the SAC for approval.
