Difference between CPP-CPA specification and BP Specification sch ema

["Sharma, Nita" <nsharma@netfish.com>]

Hi 

in the latest CPP-CPA specification Ver 9.41 line 723-745 says the following


7.4.5 Role element 
The REQUIRED Role element identifies which role in the Process Specification
the Party is capable of supporting via the ServiceBinding element(s)
siblings within this CollaborationRole element.

The Role element has the following attributes: 
·       a REQUIRED name attribute, 
·       a FIXED xlink:type attribute, 
·       a REQUIRED xlink:href attribute. 

7.4.5.1 name attribute 
The REQUIRED name attribute is a string that gives a name to the Role. Its
value is taken from one of the following sources in the Process
Specification[ebBPSS] that is referenced by the ProcessSpecification element
depending upon which element is the "root" (highest order) of the process
referenced:

·       initiator attribute of the binary-collaboration element, 
·       responder attribute of the binary-collaboration element, 
·       from attribute of the business-transaction-activity element, 
·       to attribute of the business-transaction-activity element, 
·       from attribute of the collaboration-activity element, 
·       to attribute of the collaboration-activity element, 
·       name attribute of the business-partner-role element. 

<Nita> 
this requires to reflect the current [BPSS] attribute names. Moreover it
implies that binary-collaboration may or may not be the root of a process.
BP folks, is that so?
