The ebxmlrr project [1] of freebxml.org [2] is pleased to announce a new
production-ready release of its ebXML Registry: ebxmlrr 2.1-final1.

An XML registry/repository is a critical piece of infrastructure for
organizations to increase the efficiency of their business. The XML
registry/repository is a versatile tool which helps to given employees,
customers, and partners (internally and externally) scaleable,
searchable, customizable, and secure role based access to critical
information using standard protocols. The repository can store XML, web
services, or any other type of data, and the registry manages the entire
life cycle of information in the repository using sophisticated
meta-data technology.

available under open source and royalty free licensing terms, implements

specifications [3], as defined by the OASIS ebXML  Registry Technical

as well as several new features of the latest interim specifications for
