Arofan Gregory



The Agenda for the July 14th Conference Call was as follows: 

1.Review Brian's example 

2.Determine if the CC Context Report by Brian and the 3 Example Documents
should/could be merged into one document to be presented to the ebXML
members in August. 

3.Identify the core members of each example group and any additional persons
to begin work on the examples. 

4.Agree on the expected outcome of this group's efforts for the August
meeting. 

For discussion, outcomes might include the Metamodel, three Usable Examples
and 1 Model Demonstration incorporating a CC submodel with the BP Metamodel
demonstrating how CC context can be derived from the BP Metamodel

Conference Call Outcome:

1.	Questions and comments regarding Brian's Context Report and the
Arofan/Brian Example were made during the course of the conference call. 

2.	It was agreed that portions of the CC Context Report and the 3
Example Documents could be merged into one document to be presented to the
ebXML members in August. 

3.	The general description of the purpose for the example groups was
discussed, core members of the example groups were reviewed, with a few
member changes and recommendations being made. Additional persons were
identified for inclusion into these groups. At the present time the Example
Groups and Members are:

The Auto Example- Bill, Bob, Mark Kay and Lisa Shreve 

Action: Bob will attend next week's AIAG Meeting.

The Travel and Leisure Example- Scott and Sharon. 

Action:Scott will try to find an additional person for group. 

The International Transport Example- Sue and perhaps Doug Towser

Action: a BP person to be identified by Sue. 

Payments Example-

It was agreed that a fourth example group, the Payments Example-Bank to
Bank-be included as a new example for development. Members recruited to
include in the group: John Matthews, Mike Adcock or a designee, Bob Haugen

Action: Lisa will send email Mike Adcock and Melanies' email addresses to
requesting persons

Action: Marcia will coordinate Payment Example Group for an email discussion
of the proposed task.

4.The Alignment Group agreed that we expect the outcome of this group's
efforts for the August meeting to include:

*	the completion of the Usable Auto Example, Travel and Leisure
Example and International Travel Examples. 

>the Combined MetaModel incorporating a CC submodel with the BP Metamodel.

Action: A subgroup of BP Process Team Members will meet in Minneapolis to
continue work on the MetaModel 

> a Model Demonstration.

There was much discussion around the steps that should be taken to create a
Model Demonstration that is both simple to understand to the non-ebXML or
non-business process audience as well as sufficiently rich in process and
context to be of value. It was agreed that the Discovery Model for the
demonstration would be appropriate. The Discovery Model follows the
discovery process-message exchange-development process and is completed with
the instantiation of those messages.

Action: Arofan and Karsten will create a written description of this Model
Demonstration steps and processes for distribution to the Alignment Group.

Action: Karsten will contact The Pilot Project Team Lead and determine the
role of the Pilot Team as related to our Model Demonstration effort.

Action: Scott Neiman, Mike Adcock, Karsten and perhaps Rik Drummond (?) will
meet next week at the TMWG meeting to define the scope and the extension of
the Demo.

Action: Arofan, Karsten and Antoine agreed to work on the development on the
Demo.

Action: Arofan will speak with Matt requesting use of the Schemantics engine
for the Demo.



The next Alignment Group conference call will be held Tuesday July 25th at
9am Pacific Coast Time. Agenda to Include: 

>Update on the Status of the Action Items. >Determine Next Steps in
Alignment Group Activities to prepare for the August Meeting
