Subject: RE: [seattle-xml] March 5, 2001 Seattle XML agenda: BPMI


FYI,

More info on BPMI.  Our correspondence started after Ismael's presentation
at the OAG meeting last week.

Subject:	BPML and ebXML

Dear Larissa:
After a more in-depth reviewing of the documents you sent me, I am still
struggling to find the XML Schema that you mentioned during our presentation
(the one developed by ebXML that is supposed to be similar to the one we
have developed). Can you point me out to this document?
In the meantime, I do believe that you might be interested by the attached
document which provides a very preliminary introduction to the relationship
between BPML and ebXML. This is a very first draft that should not be
circulated, but the analogy to Java and CORBA might help you better
understand why BPML is needed alongside ebXML.
Best regards
Ismael

Subject:	FW: About ebXML and BPMI

Hi All,
Here is the correspondence that I had with Ismael Ghalimi from BPMI (one of
the founders of this consortium).  He made a presentation at the OAG meeting
last week about BPMI and I thought that there were a few overlaps between
our organizations.  Do you agree with his assessment of the differences
between the ebXML-BP and BPMI charters?

Subject:	RE: About ebXML

Dear Larissa:
Thanks a lot for this information. This very much confirms our initial
understanding of ebXML's work with respect to business process management.
ebXML defines a coordination model, while BPML defines an execution model.
The boundary that separates the two is a moving target, open to different
interpretations. While ebXML will add more and more semantics to its
metamodel, ebXML's coordination model will look closer to BPML's execution
model. Nevertheless, I do think that the two approaches are required and
will nicely complement each others.
Best regards
Ismael

Hi Todd,
1. I gathered from their website that "The first draft of BPML will be made
available to the public on March 8, 2001.", so I guess it's kinda hard to
say anything definite @ BPMI till then; ... and I'm sure someone will have a
comment or two !

2. as for Ismael Ghalimi, the CEO of Intalio said, "...the mere existence of
BPMI.org will have a strong impact on ebXML: it will force ebXML to decide
wether they should focus on Collaborative Business Processes or compete
directly with BPMI.org. " Well my impression is ebXML has taken the step of
Collaborative Business Processes. 

3. last Friday, the ebXML closing plenary formally approved the ebXML
Technical Architecture Document which includes words to the effect that if
you are (collaborative) business process modeling for ebXML, then you are to
use the TMWG N90 UMM as your original source.

4. I personally enjoyed Cory Casanave's lunch & learn last week @ ebXML on
his/Kartsen Riemer's work on the OMG front w.r.t. their proposal on EDOC and
Business Service Integration for Enterprise Collaboration Architectures.
