The discovery agent and the transaction agents represent the infomediary business
enterprise in the transactions presented in the following examples:

In addition to the previous ontologies for the buyer and supplier business enterprise,
the infomediary organization maintains product ontologies. We do not explicitly
model the product ontologies in this chapter. Standardized XML-based product
ontologies may be based upon the emergent global standards such as the UN/CEFACT
ebXML (www.ebxml.org) standard for Global Electronic Commerce thereby
ensuring standardization in the information interchange and interoperability among
global partners.
