Re: ebXML Business Process Worksheets - ver 2.0

[Jim Clark <jdc-icot@lcc.net>]

Common Process Team,

Monday during the BP/CC team meeting where we were discussing the May deliverables it was
stated that the guidelines was be deprecated by the worksheets and templates. This is the
time I had heard this, I have been a little preoccupied. Whether the guidelines are a
deliverable or not I am not so concerned with. However, it is a unit of work I believe
needs to be completed. Brian used the IRS docs as a comparison of the pupose of the
different units of work and I think helps scope different artifacts.

TMWG - N90 = Entire tax code
Worksheets & Templates = IRS Forms.
Guidelines = IRS instructions.
BP Editor = TurboTax

In order to actually specify a BP all we really need is the Worksheets and Templates.
However, in order to assure that we fill in the forms properly we willl need to have a set
of instructions that augment the templates and provide some of the rationale behind the
templates.

I am not reccommmending that we declare the guidelines as a deliverable, but  I think we
need this supporting doc. I am willing to own this problem is needed.

Thoughts?

Thanks
Jim Clark
