Whereas EDI for years has provided a usable but expensive way for companies to exchange information in an automated manner, ebXML now provides a means for companies to integrate their processes much more easily. Based on XML, it provides a methodology for business to determine what information they should exchange and how, as well as a set of specifications to allow automation of the process. This tutorial gives an overview of ebXML, explaining how all of the pieces fit together.

Prerequisites

It would be helpful to have a basic understanding of XML and XML validation using schemas and DTDs. For basic XML information, see the tutorial, Introduction to XML. No programming experience is required.
