Re: 16 Mar. Conference Call notice

[Karsten Riemer - Sun IR Development <Karsten.Riemer@east.sun.com>]

Paul and team,
Many of you may have seen this already, but here is the URL for the
TPAml (trading partner agreement markup language) proposal from IBM.

http://www-4.ibm.com/software/developer/library/tpaml.html

This actually has a rudimentary business process model built in,
all in XML, no assumption about it being prepared in UML or any
other modeling language or tool. It is a very simple model, it covers
many of the same concepts as ECO framework, and we should add it as the 9th. 
model we are evaluating.
It has been submitted to the ebXML as a specific solution to a series
of the requirements owned by several of the project teams, including us.

I have read the document and several related documents and agree
with its spirit and the general model, but have several questions and
suggestions which I will write down and distribute over the next
couple of days.
