RE: Catalog Of Core Processes

["Hayes, Brian" <Brian.Hayes@Commerceone.com>]

Nita, Edwin, Dave, and Jim:

The document looks good.  I certainly appreciate all your efforts!

Here's some feedback to the document.  Keep in mind that these are all
suggestions even though it may not read that way (e.g. my comment may say
"rename to xyz" when I mean "You may want to consider renaming abc to xyz.")

Title Page:
   You have redundant titles: "ebXML Core Process Catalog ebXML BP Team" and
"Catalog of Core Processes For Electronic Business XML (ebXML)."  At this
point (without having looked at many other ebXML documents, I would
recommend that the main title (above the line, paragraph style "Title
Cover"), be "ebXML Core Process Catalog" or "ebXML Catalog of Core
Processes." There does not need to be a subtile (below the line, paragraph
style "Subtitle Cover"); however, if one is desired, what about something
like "Generic (or "Reusable") Business Processes for Electronic Business"?
   Version Number: Start with 0.1 and go from there.

Section 1:
  The first paragraph should read, at this point:
   This document specifies an ebXML WORK IN PROGRESS - NOT FOR
IMPLEMENTATION for the eBusiness community. 

Section 5, Design Objectives:
   Delete this section.

Section 6, System Overview:
   Rename to "Catalog of Core Processes" or just "Core Processes."
   Add introductory text, borrowing from section 4 as necessary.  For
example:
   "The ebXML Catalog of Core Processes desicribes the set of core business
processes that are generic in nature and can be used across various
industries.  The core processes are identified, classified, described, and
cross-referenced to other standards in the sections that follow.

Section 6.1, 6.2, 6.3:
   Delete these sections.

Section 6.4, Catalog of Core Processes:
   This section becomes section 6.1 after deleting current sections 6.1,
6.2, and 6.3.
  If section 6 is renamed to "Catalog of Core Processes," then this section
should be renamed to, say, "Core Process Cross Reference" or "List of Core
Processes."
   Add an introductory paragraph that states that a brief description of
each core process will be provided elsewhere in the document (like the
section that follows).

Section 6.2 (following current section 6.4, Catalog of Core Processes):
   Title this section, "Description of Core Processes" or "Core Process
Descriptions."  If the team does not provide any descriptions by next week,
this section can just have an opening paragraph that states "descriptions to
be provided at a later date."

Section 7, References.
   The content in this section should be paragraph style "List." Delete the
[BL73] reference since there is no reference in the document to it.  We
should discuss if this section should contain references to the RosettaNet
PIPs (or perhaps just RosettaNet web site), EDIFACT, X12, etc.

Respectfully,
Brian

Hi,

Here is the updated list of core processes with cross reference across some
industry standards - Rosettanet PIPs, X12, EDIFACT, JiPDEC/CII(Center for
information of Industry of JAPAN Information Processing Development Center),
BOD. Identification of the core processes were influenced by various
industry initiatives like ROSETTANET , EIDX, CPFR , EIAJ, OAG etc. More will
be included. Quite a challenge !! 

I look forward to your constructive feedback at the teleconference or via
e-mail to the mailing list ebxml-ccbp-analysis@lists.ebxml.org

 <<COREPROCESS_ebxml.doc>> 

thanks

- Nita
