ebXML Technical Architecture

• The goals of this architecture are
• Providing a view for integration of business
  processes among ad-hoc or established independent
  business partners by electronic means.
• Reducing the need for collaborative business
  partners to have individual and expensive prior
  agreement on how to integrate business processes.
• Providing a high-level business-centric view of
  distributed e-business processes.
• Supporting and representing business processes
  independent of the technical solution.
