Take your favorite antacid and check out http://www.zdnet.com/pcweek/stories/news/0,4153,2551691,00.html The essence of the article is that vertical industry B2B efforts are flourishing but the "pure XML" efforts such as OASIS are not: "The losers are pie-in-the-sky XML-indoctrinated organizations, such as the Microsoft-spearheaded BizTalk.org and OASIS. The automakers chose to bypass BizTalk and OASIS to develop proprietary (but published) schemata. Every big organization will do the same, and though some of their XML work may feed back up to OASIS or BizTalk, every one wants standards for their cliques only." I tried to draft a response but couldn't figure out where to begin, given the swamp of misconceptions the author seems to build upon. Is this worth a response, perhaps by a prominent person in the XML community, to distinguish the undeniable success of XML from the possible failings of ebXML or BizTalk? For that matter, I'm not at all sure the author understands what OASIS or Microsoft are trying to accomplish, so even their "failure" to solve the world's problems may not be quite so stark as the author suggests. *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
