Re: Where is that Party?

Hello Modelers,

I was browsing through the new BP model under Rose and I see all the new
Business Stereotype Icons and I see how they are being used in the model. I
echo Scott, that the Party is missing. Could Party be put back into the
model?

Regards, Sig

Jim/Bob/Bpers,
I'm always looking for a Party.

I'm starting with some basics. There is increased concensous in TP/MS that
a Party:
"A Party is a company, organization or individual or other entity
that can generate, receive or relay Documents."

The document on page 13 does indicate a PartnerType, but could the Customer
and Supplier (business actor stereotype) in the example equate to a Party
stereotype?
The next item would be how express a PartyProfile correctly here.
