XML Schema for the Exchange of Business Information

My discussion will focus on the use of standardized W3C XML
Schema for the exchange of business information. I'll
introduce the concepts of vertical and horizontal business
standards in the context of two organizations.the OpenTravel
Alliance and UN/CEFACT respectively. I will provide an overview
of the processes each group employs to create standards and
share with you what I view as their best practices.
