Public Review of Specification Schema v0.90 and proposal for simplified design patterns.

[Larissa Leybovich <lleybovich@vitria.com>]

Please find attached my review of the current business transaction design
patterns and a proposal to simplify current classifications.  This is my
action item from the f2f meeting on 1/17-1/19/01.  This document was
submitted to the participants of the ebXML BP f2f meeting on
1/17/01-1/19/01, and now is distributed to the whole BP group per Karsten's
suggestion.  It will be considered at the TMWG meeting next week in Dallas
while the revision of the N090 document takes place.  Please note that most
issues covered in this document were discovered by Clare Shemeta and I when
we worked as business process modelers on the RosettaNet project last year.

 << File: MozillaXML >> << File: XA.Document >> Hi, 

public review cycle #1 of Specification Schema v,0.90 started last Thursday
morning 2/1. It will conclude Wednesday night 2/14. 

Please take some time to review this document which is part of the ebXML
infrastructure release, due to be adopted in April.

The document is at
http://ebxml.org/specdrafts/BPSpecificationSchemaV0.90.pdf

Starting at tomorrow's metamodel meeting we are building the list of issues
as
part of the public review. Please mail all issues to the BP list (or to
someone who can). Mark all e-mails with "Issue, SpecSchema v,0.90" so we
don't
miss any of them.

Also, please classify your issues as "show-stopper" or "editorial".
Show-stopper means you will not vote to adopt the Specification Schema
without
resolution to that issue. Editorial means you would like the issue addressed
but can vote to adopt even if the issue is only partially addressed, or not
at
all.

At the Vancouver meeting we will have two sessions as part of the public
review. One will be a quick review of the content of the spec and an
in-person
chance to raise or expand on  issues. The other will be Thursday 2/15, a
session to resolve as many of the issues as we can, so we can re-submit the
document to QR for the second review cycle.

To help interpret the document, we have made up a simpler XML example which
I
attach here. The example has a lot of comment lines that explain the use of
the DTD. The DTD itself is also attached, so you don't have to cut and paste
out of the document to view it in an XML viewer.

Looking forward receiving your issues,

thanks,

The BP/CC Metamodel Team
