• Try to solve B2b application
• Accounting for differences in application
  semantics between applications and companies
• Creating a common message format based on XML
  that many organizations can agree on
• Creating a common technology infrastructure that
  will become the standard for B2B application
  integration

The controversy Microsoft extends XML for its
own purpose, BizTalk is more proprietary than a
B2B application integration standard should be
