  2. The promise of XML fore-business • Plug and play electronic commerce • Spontaneous trade • No custom programming • Ubiquity on the Internet • Complete platform independence

  3. WHY UBL ? • XML is just a metalanguage • Tag soup doesn’t give you interoperability • Seamless communication requires shared meaning • Shared meaning requires semantic standardization across whole industries • This is where UBL comes in

  4. The Universal Business Language • An XML-based business language standard-in-progress • Applicable across all industry sectors and domains of electronic trade • Actually modular, reusable, and extensible • Non-proprietary and committed to freedom from royalties • Intended to become a legal standard for international trade

  5. ADVANTAGES OF UBL • Lower cost of integration, both among and within enterprises • Lower cost of commercial software • Easier learning curve • Lower cost of entry • Quicker adoption by small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) • Standardized training • Universally available pool of skilled workers

  6. UBL PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING • A library of XML schemas for reusable data components, such as “address”, “item”, and “payment” . Each such component is called Business Information Entity (BIE). • A small set of XML schemas that are composed from the BIEs are used. • Guidelines for the extension of UBL in specific trading relationships.
