The interoperability between different e-business specifications

The interoperability among the e-business solutions is the key issue for the implementation of seamless e-business and the interoperability of the e-business solutions are determined by the e-business specification on which the e-business solution are implemented. In this paper, the analysis is performed for the technical architecture comparison between cnXML and ebXML, the de facto e-business standards in China and worldwide. The interoperability assurance layers between different e-business specifications are proposed, namely the data layer, the semantic layer and process layer. We focus on the interoperability of data layer, namely the messaging service layer in this research, and through the XML schema comparison between cnMS and ebMS, we propose the interoperability test levels and assurance method for the e-business messaging service layer.
