ebXML (Electronic Business using eXtensible Markup Language), 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.

ebXML includes five specifications, which may be implemented singly or in tandem:

• Business Process
• Collaboration Protocol Profile and Agreements
• Messaging Services
  
• Registries and Repositories
• Core Components

Related work includes:

• Implementation, interoperability, and conformance
• Electronic business service oriented architecture (ebSOA)
