Subject: RE: Collaboration Services (was: Business Service Interface)
Bon, Krishna, Ok, I can buy some of the suggested terms ... So ... we can say ebXML is ... "Collaborating business activities representing (core) business processes (made from core components) hosted in a Repository and normally qualified thru standard methods when a trading relationship is negotiated and maintained." How does that sound ? 30 words or less !! No mention of party/partner but if lawyers like it or not there's some form of a logical (maybe legal has another slant)relationship, if we're 'ebXML-ing'. Maybe it's only an incidental commercial relationship falling under general consumer protection legislation, or maybe it's driven thru a more bilateral contractural relationships. Me I'm hoping ebXML can semi-automate (better than today) the setup and ongoing maintenance of electronic trading relationships - and I'll leave the "deal making" to people.

Also, I would remove the word "automatically" from the trading partner negotiations. Human judgment might be required. -----Original Message----- From: Krishna Sankar [SMTP:ksankar@cisco.com] Sent: Sunday, October 22, 2000 9:20 PM To: Welsh, David; 'Bob Haugen' Cc: 'ebXML-BP@llists.ebxml.org'; ebxml-tp@lists.ebxml.org Subject: RE: Collaboration Services (was: Business Service Interface) Collaborating Business sub-processes or Collaborating business activities/tasks -----Original Message----- From: Welsh, David [mailto:David.Welsh@nordstrom.com] Sent: Sunday, October 22, 2000 5:26 PM To: 'Bob Haugen'; 'Welsh, David' Cc: 'ebXML-BP@llists.ebxml.org'; ebxml-tp@lists.ebxml.org Subject: RE: Collaboration Services (was: Business Service Interface) Would you care to help me replace "collaborating workflows" with some other phrase. I do admit 'workflow' is very general term, especially when you've seen half a dozen vendors claim to have workflow and all implementations are different. I think the phrase needs to be something simple to understand / not too technical, yet something for the person in the street that triggers a 'Very cool !' response.

(with all respect to party or partner) agreement is automatically negotiatied ? </David Welsh> Very cool! I like it! (except for the term "workflow", but I suppose that depends on what is meant.) Thanks for condensing, Bob Haugen
