xCBL News is a mailing list where users of the XML Common Business Library of XML
Business
Documents can register to be kept up-to-date on developments in xCBL. Click here to join or for more information on
xCBL visit the xCBL Web Site.
If you want more active involvement, then join the xCBL Discuss group where users of xCBL can discuss its use and development.
xCBL is created, maintained, and supported for use - free of charge - by anyone needing document definitions for their e-commerce applications.
xCBL is a set of XML business documents, ebXML business transactions and
community profiles for use by individual "communities" of users. In addition to
using the business documents on these sites directly, you can also use the
component library to build your own documents. Either way, using xCBL promotes
interoperability between a business, its partners and the applications they use.
Recently OASIS set up a new Technical Committee called UBL (Universal Business Language). UBL will be using xCBL as its starting point. Click here if you want more detail on the evolution of xCBL and how it co-exists
with UBL.
