This presentation gives an overview of OASIS Standards supporting e-Business interoperability. The European Interoperability Framework (EIF) and the EBIF e-business roadmap define three levels of interoperability: technical, semantic and organization. In meeting these interoperability requirements, various patterns of e-business integration can be distinguished. Web Services and ebXML can be viewed as solutions focussed on two of these patterns.

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.

Conducted by Sacha Schlegel
This series of audio interviews with peer experts on ebXML offers unique, accessible insight into the status and history of ebXML and related technologies advanced by OASIS and UN/CEFACT.
