In the eBusiness world, a multitude of businesses and marketplaces
are attempting to interact. Pivotal to this interaction is the existence
of a common infrastructure, including a mechanism to locate software
services and to share these services. Key eBusiness industry standards,
such as Extensible Markup Language (XML); Universal Description,
Discovery and Integration (UDDI); Simple Object Access Protocol
(SOAP), and other web-based industry standards are emerging.
What is the degree of importance of open standards in the expanding
eBusiness Economy? What challenges exist for common standards in
this area? Coopetition is seen as a hallmark of the New Economy.
For instance, SOAP, as an open standards-based interoperable protocol
that uses XML and provides a common messaging format to link together
applications and services anywhere via the Internet, is a result
of IBM, Ariba, Microsoft, and other industry leaders working together.
What is the future of industry leaders working together for common
web-based industry standards? Do proprietary solutions have a place
in the future of eBusiness and eMarketplaces? In what ways can large
and small companies as well as industry organizations assist in
bringing greater efficiency for the integration of technology across
and between enterprises? What milestones have been met for web-based
industry standards over the last year and which ones are still to
be achieved? And…now that the market is slowing down and re-stabilizing
with the collapse B2C and B2B companies, what impact does this have
on open standards?
