We are monitoring groups like ebXML but applying a "wait and see" approach. Bob Sutor of IBM is on our FIXML working group and also the vice-chair of the ebXML initiative.

There are a number of XML framework initiatives currently being discussed. I listed three of them below.

www.ebxml.com
"UN/CEFACT and OASIS have established the Electronic Business XML initiative to develop a technical framework that will enable XML to be utilized in a consistent manner for the exchange of all electronic business data."

"The eCo Specification is an architectural framework that enables businesses to discover each other on the World Wide Web and determine how they can do business."

www.biztalk.org
"BizTalk Framework™ is a set of guidelines for how to publish schemas in XML and how to use XML messages to easily integrate software programs
together in order to build rich new solutions."
