History

xCBL was originally called Common Business Library (CBL). The xCBL standardization began in 1997. This led to the creation of xCBL 2.0 which covered 12 different business document specifications, mainly meant for use in business-to-business (B2B) procurement. xCBL 2.0 was mainly based on existing Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) standards.

xCBL 3.0 contained several new business specifications and categories.

xCBL 3.5 (October 2001) contained nine new business documents. OASIS used this version as the starting point for defining business documents in Universal Business Language (UBL).

xCBL 4.0 (March 2003) is the latest version of xCBL. It consists of 44 business documents in eight categories. It also introduces the use of XML schema.
