A system and method for binding processes in an e-commerce HUB are present. The
e-commerce HUB manages transaction processes between trading partners by tracking
document exchange instances and translating documents and business processes as
needed. The e-commerce HUB supports multiple connection methods and provides an
open forum for small businesses to become trading partners with large businesses
without supporting multiple business processes. The e-commerce HUB may allow or
restrict e-commerce transactions with other members based on permissions associated
with member profiles.
