defining the way businesses describe themselves and their commerce
services, as well as the markets or trading communities to which they
belong, (2) semantic recommendations that describe best practices for
developing XML based e-commerce documents and (3) a common business
ontology composed of XML building blocks and document definitions such
as purchase orders, invoices, request for quotes, currency, time/date,
country codes, measurement, address and other reusable components.
