ebBP terminology

["Sacha Schlegel" <sschlegel@cyclonecommerce.com>]

Hi everyone

When reading through the ebXML business process specification I started
to write down the terminolgy used in the spec.

As you can see there are quiet a list:

o business collaboration
o binary collaboration
o choreography
o collaboration choreography
o multiparty collaboration
o inner collaboration
o parent collaboration
o outer collaboration
o sub collaborations
o business transactions
o business transaction types
o business transaction patterns
o business transaction activity
o requesting business activity
o responding business activity
o business signal
o business action
o ebBP definition
o role
o initiating role
o responding role
o business activity
o collaboration activity
o complex business transaction activity
~ business transaction activity level
o business service interface
o business document
o document flow
o business collaboration choreography
o operation
o operation mapping
o buisness trasnaction protocol
o condition expression
o transitions
o buisness state (start, success, failure, fork, join, decision)
o pseudo state

Not very useful this list but it shows that there is quiet a bit of
terminology in the spec. So it is important to be clear about the terms
to not confuse the readers.
