Lisa,
If the definition in the glossary is correct, then I
respectfully submit that the remainder of the ebXML CC documents are less
than effective in that they do not provide an intuitive process with which to
develop a core component, nor do they adequately explain the larger core
component architecture you identify.

Mark,
I think the question you meant to ask is, what is
the core component architecture. It is probably clear, having had
discussions about context, extension, core components --- even in this
discussion thread --- that there is a lot more depth to this issue than a
simple definition of a single term in a very innovative architecture.
But, if you are only interested in a definition,
the one in the glossary is the agreed upon one. I believe that it
accurately describes one aspect of the CC architecture, the core
component.
If you think there is more that needs to be added
to the definition, your constructive input is welcome and
appreciated.

Very interesting,
however the question still remains - where in the single expected ebXML core
component specification (or in any of the supporting documents identified in
the is a firm definition of a core component. The latest version
of the discovery and analysis document still doesn't explain what it is we
are discovering and analyzing. Each of the ebXML CC Documents have
vague references to the concept of a core component, but I have yet to find
a clear definition, much less a more detailed explanation of the concept of
core, in any of them (and that includes the BP and CC overview
document). I know the ebXML glossary has a definition ( lowest level,
industry neutral building blocks which are used within the construction of
ebXML business processes), but does that really say what we need to
say. I don't think so as one of the most frequently asked questions I
receive from folks when I am talking about ebXML, is what is a core
component. And the questions are usually from folks who have tried to
read the draft documents. If they don't get it, what hope do we have
of anyone using this stuff?
If I am missing
it, perhaps the editors can point out the exact location for my tired eyes
(too many ebXML specs, not enough resting time!)
