[ebxml-iic] 7/29/2003: BSI Working Definition

[Monica Martin <monica.martin@sun.com>]

Given we are starting to work on BPSS test requirements and plans, 
please review and comment on this working definition (discussed in 
yesterday's call).  Thanks.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Working information for definition: The BSI specifies rules governing 
behaviour of a business party interface.  The BSI enables a given party 
to properly participate in an ebXML exchange.*  *At the collaborative 
interface, the BSI deals with predictable behaviour, not that of the 
application interface that is constrained by the business partner agreement.

The BSI is a layer definition between nodes, while the MSI exists at one 
node and interacts with the MSH.
