Message text written by "Burdett, David"
>-> The BusinessProcessCollection contains BusinessProcessDescriptors.
A BusinessProcessDesciptor contains one reference to an
IdentifiableBusinessProcess,
which could be a reference into a Registry for a RegisteredBusinessProcess
(default), or
some user-defined way (same issue as Partyid and URI default).
A BusinessProcessDescriptor also contains a list of steps/actions that the
business
supports within that IdentifiableBusinessProcess. Each supported
step/action contains
a list of technology capabilities (perhaps ranked to support spontaneous
business
invocation success likelihood) that indicate what *can* be used, not what
*will* be used.
None of this is an agreement, and all of it is associated with a Party.

Scott - oh yes - you knew I was going to like this - and then a

getRegisterBusinessProcess  is a 'canned' query that retrieves same
and the BP/CC model for this is the default classification scheme within
the Registry itself.  I'm actively looking at the BP DTD in this context
of being able to drive this mechanism.

As David Burdett noted - this BP DTD can also simply be an XML
doc' that was stored by the SME - example:

 http://www.aol.com/members/frankspoolservice/ebXML/profile.xml

and then registered with a registry service (in this case probably AOL's).

Thanks, DW.
