ebXML Electronic Business eXtensible Markup Language
Based on EDI experience, supported by OASIS and UN/CEFACT ebXML Mechanism for modeling business information and processes • Reliable and safe • communication • infrastructure • Architecture and implementation: • flexibility • interoperability of contents • according to standards
ebXML security • Privacy • Authentication • Authorization • Integrity • Non-repudiation Elements of security
Simple and effective ebXML summary Multilingual support Safety and security Cost reduction Suitable for companies of all sizes Accordingly with standards
XLANG • for describing business processes inside the BizTalk initiative; • focused fully on public processes. • supports long-term operations and nesting.
XLANG It’s main features include: • Behavior • Actions • Control flow • Correlations • Context • Service management • Port mapping enabling technology business imperative
For public processes only XLANG Flexible Enables multiple roles in contracts Partly assured security and exception handling For long-term transactions
RosettaNet compromise between EDI and SOAP • defines business processes • atomizes business processes • success/failure notification • offers general business models and documents Partner Interface Process
RosettaNet Security features: • two-way SSL, • authentication, • digital signatures, • data encryption and • non-repudiation
RosettaNet summary Universal tool for electronic exchange of business information – PIP Many supporting tools Mature architecture Safe interaction Suitable only for large industry

Criteria Divided by areas:
Basic features Technical features Criteria Security features Structural features • constructing and describing processes • collaboration and roles description • role and collaboration model • small / medium / big enterprises support 9% 8% 2% 10%
Basic features Technical features Criteria Security features • complexity and effort • efficiency • maturity • tools support • synchronous communication support • asynchronous communication support • independency from communication protocols • quality of service Structural features 9% 7% 8% 2% 2% 2% 2% 6%

Utility function • u = maximum utility, • uj = utility of alternative j, • ci = criteria i, • Aj = alternative j (ebXML,XLANG,RosettaNet), • wi = weight of criterion i, • N = total number of alternatives.
Results Advantages Disadvantages • Support for all • kinds of companies ebXML • Young technology • Maturity • Low complexity and • needed effort • Independency • Inflexibility • No exception handling RosettaNet • No quality of service • No authentication • No non-repudiation • Data transformation XLANG
5. Conclusion • Increasing need for suitable technologies for enabling electronic business and atomization • The most optimal technology for most of the companies is probably ebXML – however, only by our set of weighted criteria
