Subject: Re: [ubl] OAGIS/HR-XML
It is a fair comment and one which comes up increasingly as various XML initiatives seek alliances to increase their market share. I personally still believe that rather than many bilateral 'alignments' we should all aim for a single standard. That is, align with one common standard. The analogy is something like encouraging a GATT-type solution rather than many bilateral, free-trade agreements. At present the most likely candidate for facilitating that is UN/CEFACT. So my preferred approach is to avoid market confusion (creating a possible n x n set of intermediary standards) and not waste resources on short term strategies. Then we can focus on the convergence with UN/CEFACT as the best way forward for UBL. stephen.green@systml.co.uk wrote: > Folks > > In view of today's news > > http://www.hr-xml.org/blog/?p=128 > > I wondered (as I expect many have) whether there is more UBL > can do now (or ATG2) to align as fully with OAGIS as HR-XML to > create just one big bundle.
