BP Metamodel suggestions

["Paul R. Levine" <plevine@telcordia.com>]

Business Process Team,

As I mentioned in the conference call yesterday, Kumar Bhaskaran of IBM has
submitted material from the Workflow Management Coalition along with a
suggestion for revision of the ebXML BP metamodel.  We agreed on the 24 April
conference call that we would discuss such submissions if they were submitted to
the BP PT in writing.  Thus, I am forwarding Kumar's submission for your
consideration.  We have allotted time on the BP PT agenda of the Brussels
meeting to discuss this proposal.   Team members are invited to comment on this
submission, whether or not you intend to be in Brussels.

Regards,

Paul Levine

Hi Paul:

  Attached is the rtf document with Wfmc's Workflow Process Definition
Language metamodel in UML. The UML rendition is mine. I am also attaching
two other documents -- one is WPDL specification and the other is a
whitepaper on extending the model to include events.

I believe we can take this metamodel and extend it to include economic
resources, externalized organization and trust model, and the events to
derive the ebXML bp metamodel. This would certainly extend the thought that
ebxml bp group has put into the metamodel.

(See attached file: Suggested revisions to metamodel.rtf)(See attached
file: WPDL Standard.pdf)(See attached file: Wf Event Extension.pdf)

Please distribute to others in the ebXML bp team.

regards
kumar
