Given the interest of some members of the UBL committee in the application
of ontological solutions to the problem of Harmonization, I thought this
might be of interest to the group (02)

New standard aims to "harmonize" XML payment messaging
By Rich Seeley (04)
A new XML standard for payment messaging is under development as part of an
agreement between several standards bodies -- Open Applications Group
(OAGi), Interactive Financial eXchange (IFX), Society for Worldwide
Interbank Financial Telecommunication (Swift) and Treasury Workstation
Integration Standards Team (Twist). (05)
The standards groups met jointly at a conference this month hosted by
Gartner Inc., Stamford, Conn., and signed a "Memorandum of Understanding"
to support the new standard, according to OAGi. The planned XML standard is
part of the International Standards Team Harmonization initiative with
participation by major banks, including Bank of America, Citibank, Deutsche
Bank AG, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo. RosettaNet also endorses the
harmonization effort, according to a related announcement this week by IFX
Forum (http://www.IFXForum.org). (06)
The harmonization effort will attempt "to drive a single Core Payment XML
'Kernel' that can be used globally by any corporation regardless of size
and sector and by any servicing bank in any location," according to the
OAGi announcement. Vendors supporting OAGi work include IBM, Oracle,
PeopleSoft and Sterling Commerce. (07)
The procedure posted on the OAGi Web site
(http://www.openapplications.org/) for the harmonization effort includes: (08)
* To identify and resolve content differences between the messages so a
single set of content can be used; * Recommend a common core payment that
can be accepted into each of the standards bodies for use; and * Establish
a method of interoperability that allows the Core Payment XML Kernel to
have extended or related messages packaged with it. (09)
