Re: POC and Trading Partner Agreements

[Farrukh Najmi <Farrukh.Najmi@east.sun.com>]

I want to point out that the ebXML RR Services v0.8 spec requires that
the registry client registers with the registry by
specifying a Party Profile which is a TPA (ala IBM TPAML submission)
with only 1
parties info. The schema for the PP will be updated once the TP team has
an
official version. However, the unofficial IBM TPAML is what the RR
services spec
has listed as part of its message api for registration (with statements
indicating that this will need to be aligned in the future with TP teams
works).
I dont think we should try and deviate from current TPAML. This would
cause a
lot of confusion and God knows we have enough to deal with.

So in summary, the TPAML v1.0.6 DTD (attached) is the DTD the ebXML RR
Services v0.8 spec specifies as part of its api. This should be good
enough to meet "our self-professed rules" that POC implement what is
specified by ebXML specs. This is just a pragmatic way to deal with the
fact that the official TP version will not be available for Tokyo.
