d. A clear English-language summary of the specification (from the specification's Abstract):

This specification defines a communications-protocol neutral method for exchanging electronic business messages. It defines specific Web Services-based enveloping constructs supporting reliable, secure delivery of business information. Furthermore, the specification defines a flexible enveloping technique, permitting messages to contain payloads of any format type. This versatility ensures legacy electronic business systems employing traditional syntaxes (i.e.
UN/EDIFACT, ASC X12, or HL7) can leverage the advantages of the ebXML infrastructure along with users of emerging technologies.

e. A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to similar work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations:

This specification is the first major revision of ebXML Message Services since the OASIS ebMS 2.0 (April 2002). It continues the use of relevant Web Services specifications, including SOAP 1.1 and SOAP with Attachments; and also encourages the use of and converge with various Web Services standards that have emerged since the publication of ebMS 2.0, including SOAP 1.2, Web Services Security: SOAP Message Security 1.0 & 1.1, WS-Reliability 1.1, WS-ReliableMessaging 1.1.

It is designed to be used either with or without any of the other ebXML components, including ebXML Business Process Specification Schema (BPSS) 2.0.4 and a forthcoming version of ebXML Collaboration Protocol Profile and Agreement (CPP/A).
