INTRODUCTION oday all of we are aware about online shopping. Being IT people, most of us are also definitely aware about online transactions using Mobile which is termed as M-Commerce. We go for various types of online transactions today. With the increased usage of Internet and Information Technology in world, there is a significant interest in doing business online. Today most of the businesses are turned into “eBusiness”, especially Clothing, Footwear, Electronic Gadgets, Accessories, etc. You name it and its there on eBusiness. eBusiness is the electronic incorporation of all the business processes and operations within the organization that includes but is not limited to : production, sales, marketing, human resource management, supply chain management, e- commerce, etc. [6] Hence, we need to understand the whole process of eBusines. Here we are concentrating more on Business to Business transaction rather then going for individual B2C (Business to Customer) transaction. This is the reason we are emphasizing on ebXML and other frameworks which are mainly used for B2B. II. EBUSINESS WITH SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISE (SME) Today most of the business organizations or we can say SMEs go for online business. Most of them have online retail store where customer can have view of various types of products and along with that they can go for online shopping too. In order to achieve business growth many organizations go for various tactics like better GUI, better description of products, buy back policies, payment after receipt. In the beginning of eBusiness era, it was much difficult for SMEs to do business online and provide various features.[11] If we see as high-level overview of common eBusiness strategies, they seem to be almost similar. Especially when we are talking about B2B transactions they are similar between most of SMEs. In this paper we will compare existing B2B frameworks, providing a new approach that will enable the typical SME to carry out large subset of business process within the company and its clients through the usage of internet by resulting competitive advantes of online transactions. III. eBusiness / B2B Frameworks As a matter of fact there are lots of publications on B2B frameworks. Some publications compare various frameworks based on characteristics [1][8]and some based on other parameters. Some publications advance to presenting architectures and systems of applying e-business frameworks to B2B integration. Overall, the significance on e-business frameworks [10] is increasing with rising implementation figures of them. As usual majority of eBusiness / B2B Frameworks are of course based on XML architecture as XML is platform independent which can be utilized by any hardware / software platform. A paper which conducted by Software Research and Development Centre – Turkey [1], gives good comparison of some eBusiness / B2B frameworks T
