March 18, 1999

I asked and you answered. Based on the overwhelming response from cXML: A New Taxonomy For E-commerce, this week''s column features recent developments for XML in the e-commerce arena. Your notes and letters (which are still coming in) tell me that you''re hungry for the promises that XML offers. I''ll try to meet your demands by supplying a steady stream of information as new events occur. To start, let''s take a look at what Ariba Technologies has been up to in recent weeks.

In early March 1999, the Ariba.com Network was launched, establishing the largest worldwide business-to-business commerce network using the Internet. Ariba.com connect buyers and suppliers with services that offer content and catalog management, order transaction routing, and multiprotocol support for sharing content and transaction information.
