ebXML registry, messaging chosen for Linux development
The Sino Project is developing off-the-shelf Linux applications based on open-source software and open standards, including ebXML, with registry and messaging at the core of the undertaking.
Combine the irrefutable logic of open standards with the growing momentum of the open-source movement in software, and you have the Sino Project, an initiative that brings together Linux and ebXML.
Sino Technologies in San Jose, California is spearheading the Sino Project. The project aims to provide off-the-shelf software distribution of Linux-based service oriented architectures and Web services, as well as mobile e-mail and business applications, also based on Linux. The applications, according to the company, are aimed at corporate data centers and telecommunications gateways.
Sino Technologies has employed the services of the Open Source Development Lab (OSDL) for performance testing. The company says the Novell/SUSE-hosted Sino ebXML Registry will begin performance tests at OSDL in September 2004. Sino Technologies plans to load over 4 billion business, product and service core components data elements into its ebXML Registry. The company uses an ebXML registry for its public Sino Commerce Portal.
Sino says its Linux Middleware v3.0 extends the Linux OS with an ebXML registry/repository server, ebXML e-mail system and message handling servers. This version includes a Linux business integration browser based on Java API for XML Registries (JAXR).
The company says its e-mail desktop client uses plug-in modules to provide different graphical user interface forms for capturing business data into different schemas of XML documents (e.g. price quotation, purchase order, or invoices) and binary file attachments such as graphics. Sino says the plug-ins can also handle simple business processes that define choreographies of document exchanges. ebMail can digitally sign and encrypt outgoing documents, and decrypt and authenticate incoming documents using digital certificates.
