Hi,

Electronic Business/Electronic Commerce Memo of Understanding on 
eBusiness Standards has some interesting resolutions/recommendations 
from a recent meeting on the 11th of December [1]:


--------------

02/07 (6.4 of N0113): It is recommended that RELAX NG, ASN.1, and XSD be 
considered as important and to some extent complementary candidates for 
XML schema definitions.

02/08 (6.4 of N0113): It is recommended that groups producing XML 
schemas for E-business should consider parallel specification using at 
least two of the above in order to maximize the tools available to 
developers, and in order to benefit from efficient binary encoding 
(currently available only in ASN.1).

02/09 (6.4 of N0113): It is recommended that standard setting bodies do 
not further extend their standards where the area is already covered by 
one of the above (for example, binary encoding for XML).

--------------


The E-Business MoU is a body with reps from ITU-T, ISO, OASIS, 
UN/CEFACT, and OAGIS (maybe others) set up to harmonize e-business 
standards developments across these groups. It is part of a 'Lead Study 
Group on e-business and e-commerce' which is part of the ITU-T Study 
Group 16 [2].

Note: i am not involved in this study group, just forwarding information 
others may find useful or interesting, so please don't shoot the 
messenger :-)

Paul.
