ebXML Asia Committee's ebXML Interoperability Certification Program


ebXML Asia Committee Starts New ebXML Interoperability Certification Program

Twelve Organizations Receive Certifications on ebXML Message Service specification 2.0


Bangkok, Thailand. August 08, 2003.

The ebXML Asia Committee announced the start of a new ebXML interoperability certification program and issued ebXML interoperability certification on ebXML Message Service specification 2.0, including basic functions and reliable messaging, for 12 companies and organizations that passed the interoperability test. Interoperability is one of key issues to realize Internet based B2B eBusiness using multi-vendor implementations,even across countries. ebXML Message Service is designed for B2B communication and its reliable messaging function is to guarantee message delivery such as arrival of a business message sent from one company to another,preservation of message order and elimination of duplicated arrival of business messages.

The goal of the ebXML ASIA Committee interoperability certification is to promote ebXML through the certification of interoperability among ebXML Asia Committee members' products. The certificate includes such information as "Class" which specifies the ebXML specification to be covered and "Level" which specifies the test categories. ebXML Asia Committee interoperability test is performed by the Interoperability Task Group (ITG) and the interoperability certification is issued by ebXML ASIA committee. And, the result of test and certification is announced on the ebXML Asia's homepage (www.ebxmlasia.org).
