EDA Standards

To date, no industry standards exist for business event definition or notation (http://elementallinks.typepad.com/bmichelson/2006/02/eventdriven_arc.html). IBM has defined a common base event for systems events. The common base event is included in the Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM) specification. The common base event format evolved from IBM’s Tivoli (systems management) product line.
