Re: Comments on ebXML Methodology: Core Components Discovery andAnalysis

Generally I agree with this discussion on perspective terminology  --
Business Document(s) are Message Payload(s).

I will point out however, from the Message Service perspective, the Message
Payload(s) can be anything  -perhaps just
a single binary thing like an image. In this case, from the BP/CC
perspective, "Business Document" is a significant abstraction.

Hi there,
   For what it is worth.

   At Bolero.net we have come to a similar conclusion:

   1. A business Document is the data payload. It does not of course
necessarily mimic a paper based 'Document'

   2. It becomes a message when it has a sender and receiver and all that
is
required for the sending and receiving


Cheers, Phil Goatly
