The Open ebXML project is working to providing a ebXML framework that primarily supports the v2.0 set of ebXML specifications soon to be released by UN/CEFACT and OASIS.

Derived from the ebXML partispants desire to define a standard XML payload format for ebXML the spesification for UBL was started in OASIS.

OASIS Universal Business Language (UBL) TC

UBL, is the product of an international effort to define a royalty-free library of standard electronic XML business documents such as purchase orders and invoices. Developed in an open and accountable OASIS Technical Committee with participation from a variety of industry data standards organizations, UBL is designed to plug directly into existing business, legal, auditing, and records management practices, eliminating the re-keying of data in existing fax- and paper-based supply chains and providing an entry point into electronic commerce for small and medium-sized businesses.

UBL is designed to be "agnostic" with respect to the infrastructure, and UBL messages can be used in a very wide range of functional contexts, from complex service-oriented architectures (SOAs) to the simple exchange of documents via email.
