A Look Inside Commerce XML (cXML) Version 0.91
By Mark Merkow, CCP, CISSP
May 27, 1999

cXML Documents
The last section of the cXML v0.91 Specification includes a source listing of all the documents needed to develop and deploy cXML-compliant application programs. Documents included are:

• cxml.dtd.
• Base.mod
• Common.mod
• Contract.mod
• Index.mod
• Item.mod
• Supplier.mod
• SupplierTranslations.mod
• SupplierUpdate.mod
• Transaction.mod
• Transport.mod

Ariba is soliciting feedback from developers of cXML applications and prototypes to help speed cXML to a formal version 1.0 release. A couple of other columns about cXML are available here at E-commerce Watch at:

• cXML:A New Taxonomy For E-commerce and
• Current Events On the XML for E-commerce Front

You''re encouraged to visit the cxml.org to obtain your own copy of the cXML draft specification.

The promises of cXML are both broad and deep. We''ll continue keeping an eye on it as it streams its way to standardization. If you have specific questions about implementation, contact the cXML experts at Ariba.com. If you''d like to share your experiences with other E-commerce Watch readers, please send them on over and I''ll feature them in an upcoming column.
