Subject: JB Clark 12/21/2004: Some references on HasLegalIntent
Jamie, As requested today, here are some historical details: * Original summary: http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/ebxml-bp/200407/msg00065.html (July 2004) * Further clarifications: http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/ebxml-bp/200410/msg00128.html (Oct 2004) * Draft verbiage: a. Decision on draft verbiage: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ebxml-bp/download.php/9903/ebbp-mtgminutes-mm1-110104.txt (1 Nov 2004) b. Release of draft verbiage: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ebxml-bp/email/archives/200411/msg00004.html c. Update of draft verbiage: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ebxml-bp/email/archives/200411/msg00036.html Current draft technical specification language: ===================================================================================================== A business transaction activity MAY specify that this particular document interchange “has legal intent” via the hasLegalIntent attribute. This attribute is optional and means that particular activity that could represents a statement or commitment between trading partners, and their shared intent. Referencing the eCommerce Patterns v1.0 [http://www.ebxml.org/specs/bpPATT.pdf], the digital signature cannot in and of itself infer intent. This constraint could be used as a substantive and enforceable precondition on the BTA. The mechanisms in the BSI that provide the capability to support this precondition are: · reliability · document security: confidential, tamper detectable and authenticated · nonrepudiation · authorization · predictability The hasLegalIntent attribute could have widely differing interpretations and enforceability depending on type of business, process, and jurisdiction. No implication of interpretation or enforcability is made by the ebBP specification. The contractual framework, agreements and their application to any artifact are outside the scope of this specification. ===================================================================================================== Thanks.
