XML Begins to Impact B2B E-Commerce (Jun 2000)
The close of 1999 saw a number of initiatives that will accelerate progress in adapting the Extensible Markup Language (XML) to business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce. The promise of XML has encouraged a variety of players to enter the fray of standards definition. Among these competing players are vendors, vertical industry trade organizations, and individual companies. While standardization is badly needed in the XML realm, this divisiveness has tended to drive the participants apart and confuse potential users.

Sign on the Dot-Com Line (Aug 2000)
After years of talk, electronic signatures are finally becoming a reality. A new law goes into effect October 1, 2000 which will facilitate the use of electronic signatures to secure electronic transactions. The term "electronic signature" has become the generic name for what is actually a wide variety of means of authenticating the identity of parties to a transaction. One strength of the new law is that it is broad enough to embrace the plethora of electronic signature verification mechanisms, rather than promoting the use of just one.

It’s a Jungle Out There: The New Amazon E-Patent (Apr 2000)
Hot on the heels of its controversial "One-Click" patent, Amazon.com may have struck gold again with a newly issued patent relating to its system by which other websites send its customers in exchange for a commission. These so-called affiliate programs are a common technique used among e-commerce websites to increase traffic and product sales. The new Amazon patent could prevent Amazon's competitors from using the method, or as an alternative, enable Amazon to charge a license fee for its use. A third possibility is that Amazon will be reluctant to step up to enforce the new patent for fear that a court might find the patent invalid. Amazon spokespersons have thus far declined to tip their hands as to the company's intentions.
