Why should you use PD IEC/TR 62325-501— Use of ebXML?
The ‘electronic business Extensible Markup Language’ (ebXML) specification and architecture stem from UN/CEFACT and OASIS and these are now partly standards within the ISO 15000 series being complemented in the future to cover all aspects of ebXML.
PD IEC/TR 62325-501 provides you with the guidelines on using the architecture of ebXML. ebXML is a complete set of specifications and standards to enable secure electronic business using proven, open standards such as TCP/IP, HTTP, SOAP, XML, and SOAP signature and encryption. PD IEC/TR 62325-501 explains the evolutionary nature of ebXML, built on 25 years of EDI experience, designed to work with existing EDI solutions. PD IEC/TR 62325-501 is used to develop an emerging class of internet-based electronic business applications based on XML. This means that existing EDI messages (EDIFACT, and X12), as well as XML messages, can be exchanged. PD IEC/TR 62325-501 describes the vision of ebXML, to create a single global electronic marketplace where enterprises of any size and in any geographical location can meet and conduct business with each other through the exchange of XML-based messages. ebXML is a set of specifications that together enable a modular, yet complete electronic business framework for using the Internet. In accordance with PD IEC/TR 62325-501, the ebXML architecture provides:
- A way to define business processes and their associated messages and content
- A way to register and discover business process sequences with a related message exchanges
- A way to define company profiles
- A way to define trading partner agreements
- A uniform message transport layer
