News from the WS interoperability

The Web Service Interoperability Organization (WS-I) of Basic Profile 1.0 and 1.1 fame has just released the first draft of the WS-I B2B profile. It's not in final publication yet (just official first draft).

This is huge because if this becomes a standard we will finally have a set of Web Service standards addressing the unique transaction and asynchronous messaging semantics of the B2B domain.

If B2B interfaces are WS-I B2B Basic Profile 1.0 compliant, developers could save weeks (sometimes months) in the initial engagements discussing and documenting the fine grained inter-system messaging and transaction semantics.
