the "global" choreography may (to some extent) be derived from the set 
of the "local" choreographies of the participating partners

See for example the work by Dijkman and Dumas, "Service-oriented Design: 
A Multi-viewpoint Approach" 
(http://eprints.qut.edu.au/archive/00000622/01/SOD_(revised).pdf)

the "local" choreography there is called "provider behaviour" (which is 
indeed a very appropriate name), and the "global" choreography is just 
"choreography" (e.g. aligned with the W3C terminology)
