Subject: ebBP 12/20/2005: OASIS Symposium Submission Made
Here is the full submission (adding more words to accommodate the extended abstract requested): Biography: The OASIS ebBP TC is comprised of a diverse team of eBusiness, technologists, and functional business experts focused on realizing the benefits of the use of a standardized format for collaborative business processes. The co-chairs are Dale Moberg, Cyclone Commerce, and Monica J. Martin, Sun Microsystems. Presenter: Presenter: Monica J. Martin (Ms. Martin will be speaking on behalf of OASIS ebXML Business Process TC). Title of submission: Focus on the User Community: Effectively using modular collaborative process definitions and profiles to realize eBusiness interoperability Topic perspective: Standards, Business and Community perspectives Brief submission description: This presentation focuses on engaging user communities to realize and implement a practical approach to process interoperability. Effective use of modular collaborative process definitions and profiles will be described in the context of real-world application to realize eBusiness interoperability.

Abstract: In practical application, business processes in the collaborative environment may be diverse, complex and evidence the context and expectations of the business partners involved. Realizing and achieving interoperability necessitates a clear focus on usability, domain or cross-domain best practices, and achievable solutions based on the user communities served. This presentation focuses on the eBusiness domain, collaborative business processes, and practical (yet pragmatic) eBusiness process approaches - to promote adoption, to effectively engage stakeholders in standards development and implementation deployment and to realize organic growth. In the collaborative environment, the use of standard process definitions must recognize the value (and complexity) of: 1. Well-known business transaction patterns 2. Business semantics evidencing aspects of quality of service, document security, and partner expectations 3. Key roles and characteristics of the business partners involved 4. The goals and constraints of the user communities served 5. Support for the continuum of simple business transactions to complex business collaborations using ebBP (OASIS ebXML Business Process TC, ebXML Business Process Specification Schema, aka ebBP) In order to provide solutions that accommodate these diverse but important goals, the focus must be on domain and partner usability where solutions explicitly target value added capabilities relevant to business experts. This may result in definition, development and use of: a. Modular process definitions composable to targeted to one or more domains, or partners within them b. Specializing by profile whereby domain expectations can be tailored and refined c. Integrating other technologies like Registry and web services to maximize the benefit of the communities served Combining a standardized approach to modular process definition and development, focused on user community solutions, we present a minimum of two real-world use cases and different usage of ebBP v2.0.1. Domains served include local and regional governments, health care, transport, textiles, and financial services. In addition, that community focus has realized collaborations with other evolving standards to provide achievable solutions such as ontologies, Registry, Universal Business Language (UBL) and other domain technologies. Combining community, standards and business perspectives will assist in realizing true eBusiness interoperability using standardized business process definitions.
