Re: BP XML schema proposal

[Karsten Riemer - Sun IR Development <Karsten.Riemer@East.Sun.COM>]

Hi all,
just to avoid confusion.
Antoine and I got our signals crossed and both sent out documents yesterday for 
today's metamodel meeting. They differ slightly in the introductory text, but 
the models within them are identical, so it doesn't really matter which version 
of the document you refer to in today's meeting.

Also, I wanted to point out that at this point the model only covers the 
commercial transaction at the BOV level. As we keep working it we will adress 
the 'handshake-signals' at the FSV level as well.
Another point is that the highly recursive nature of the model is in essence 
what Bob Haugen had suggested against the latest metamodel before we adopted the 
edifecs model. This recursiveness allows you with a single model to model even 
the Business Process from the BOM level, as well as your preferred mixture of 
business collaborations and commercial transactions from the BOV level.

thanks,
-karsten
