Re: [ebxml-dev] Announce: Article on Process Modeling for e-Business

["Paul R. Levine" <plevine@telcordia.com>]

Mike,

Thanks for sharing your article.  As a BP  type person in the world of
ebXML, I appreciate your comments on the UMM.  One strength of the UMM you
didn't touch on is its help in doing prescriptive business process modeling
through the use of patterns at the level of business transactions and their
associated business service interactions.  The ebTWG is now developing the
idea of patterns at the level of business collaborations, i.e., scenarios,
such as commitments and their fulfillment in ways that can be monitored.
Another UMM strength is that is facilitates establishing a business process
specification as part of a CPA in which there are legally binding
commitments between pairs of trading partners.

Regards,

Paul
