Abstract

This paper describes our proposal for extending the current ebXML standard - to provide more comprehensive support for electronic contracts. The paper first presents the current status of major B2B initiatives, focusing on their support for electronic contracts. Having found the ebXML meta-model to provide a suitable contractual foundation, we examine the full extent of the requirements for supporting electronic contracts, and propose extensions to the ebXML meta-model to facilitate these requirements.
