Re: [ebxml-bp] Ottawa (was) Re: [ebxml-bp] IBM to Support BPEL-BasedWeb Services

[Duane Nickull <dnickull@adobe.com>]

Jamie:

To answer your question, this was a Canadian Government sponsored 
initiative to showcase ebXML implementation. The main contact is Ed 
Buchinski who has worked countless hours to promote UN/CEFACT and OASIS 
standards within the Canadian Government. Ed has been a forceful 
proponent for ebXML since early 2000 and is now being recognized in the 
international and national communities as a visionary for his insight. 
Several governments worldwide are extremely interested in the GoC ebXML 
and Web Services strategy.

Some of the highlites:

9:00 – 9:15 Welcome + Project Overview, Alexa Brewer, Treasury Board Canada
9:15 – 9:45 Fulfilling Stakeholder Needs: Executive, Program Manager, 
IM/IT Specialist – Ken Dagg, Fujitsu Consulting
9:45 – 10:05 Business Transformation, GSRM + UMM – Dan Demos, TBS
Showcases how UMM is being used in production environments within the 
GoC. Dan, Ed and others has reconciled the first two layers of UMM with 
the Government Services Reference Model. This is MDA on steroids!
10:05 – 10:25 Business Process Modelling and Tools – Andrew Robinson, ISA
Andrew has been worked with this stuff for 5 years or longer. Very 
informative.
Break
10:25 – 10:45 CPSIN/IJI Data Dictionary – Al Rondeau, PSEP
10:45 – 11:05 Baseline Infrastructure – Suhayl Masud, Different Thinking
11:05 – 11:25 Baseline Standards – Larry Cooper, Maxsys
11:25 – 11:45 Operational Implications – Aziz Abouelfoutouh, PWGSC
Aziz showed a very advanced SOA in the context of eGOvernment.

Working Lunch

12:15 – 1:00 Coping with Evolving Standards – Jacques Durand, OASIS/Fujitsu
Jacques is a guy who can make sense of all the competing, overlapping 
and disparate standards. Well done!!!

1:00 – 1:20 Registry/repository demo – Richard Lessard, PWGSC
An overview of the Yellow Dragon (Now Adobe Systems) registry repository 
and the open source ebXMLrr. Richard talked about the strengths and 
weaknesses of both and demonstrated both working.

1:20 – 2:30 Transforming UMM models to BPSSs and CPPs – Reza Shaffii, 
Fujitsu Consulting
This session was very intruiging. Fujitsu demonstrated the BPSS and 
CPP/A integration for collaboration with Registry support using the 
Yellow Dragon/Adobe Registry.. Very impressive!!!

2:45 – 3:30 E-form designer inter-operability with registry/repository – 
Duane Nickull, Adobe Systems.
My session demonstrated a complete implementation of the UN/CEFACT CCTS 
methodology including Core Components (From the Canadian Data Standards 
Secretariat), BIE's, Context Declarations, Assembly into a W3C Schema 
and using the schema to design eForms that linked into a Business 
process using the Adobe Forms Designer. There is code that implemented 
it and worked well.

3:45 – 4:10 UDDI – ebXML registry/repository inter-operability – Dan 
Murray, Team BCE
4:10 - 4:45 Secure Digital Forms Service – Peter Ellis, CGI

Ed is cc'd above. He deserves huge kudos IMO for his efforts.
