Presents a look at a system for translating to and from proprietary and standardized messages in B2B settings

Heavily based on RDF---XML interchanges

No clear definition of translation, proper interoperation, or exchange

Based on rules associated with message formats

Reference ontology moves effort off application developers

Must maintain the following through transformations:

• Message structure
• Message concept granularity (element versus attribute)
• Message concept names including namespaces
• Message concepts' order
• Formatting rules
