Hello Farrikh! Exactly what are the differences between MOF/MDR and ebXML/freebXML?
Not looking at this from a technical perspective the big difference is probably the supporters of the different techniques. MOF is put forward as a standard by OMG, ebXML by some e-business interest group. Sofar ArgoUML (and UML) has been all OMG and with the software developers' arrogance we are looking on things the business people drag in with skepticism. On the other hand, the two worlds are merging. Looking at http://www.bpmi.org/ it looks like the BPMI and OMG have worked together for over a year so I am not all updated. A couple of years back (I think it was in 2002) Anders W. Tell was discussing something similar on this list. Since he is located in Stockholm I met with him over lunch and discussed the use of ArgoUML in his work. We lost contact. His website about ebxml (http://www.ebxml.nu/) doesn't seem really updated anymore (not much has happened there since 2004) and the project Open ebXML seems abandoned. /Linus > -----Original Message----- > From: Farrukh S.
