Subject: [use-case] #2 - eBusiness Industry Dictionary: BP catalogues
The ebXML architecture calls for a registry of
re-usable
business process definitions that can be used to
configure ebusiness interactions dynamically with
software.
Industry groups such as OAGi, RosettaNet and
STEP
have developed dictionaries using a variety of
tools such
as HTML and spreadsheets to manage their own
sets
of business processes (BODs, PIPs, etc) in a
manual way.
Today ebXML has available CPA with BPSS and
associated transaction handling instructions such as
XSD schema and CAM template scripts to provide
the physical implementation.
By defining semantics for BP catalogue entries
in
Registry we can provide a consistent way to
package
a BP definition, including all the necessary
components
(CPA, BPSS, Transactions, Context use rules) so
that
industry groups can quickly build re-usable
dictionaries
of BP catalogues. Linkage can be
provided to OWL
and topic maps so that re-use and discovery can
be
enhanced. A further goal is so that
application
implementers can reliably download and
install
BP catalogue definitions into their systems to
configure them and provide directives for
the
runtime systems.
