Subject: RE: [wsbpel] A Topic for the F2F?
Matthew, +1, Excellent points. I would add that hook to visual orientated extensions file is my personal preference, and as long as this is stored in open XML, the format could be vendor supplied. Also - as you note below mappings to other model systems is also IMHO the way to go - this will allow future extensibility, and today cover BPMN, UML, BPSS, and vendor proprietary models. Sample mappings can be provided non-normative as addendums to the main spec', or as technical notes. DW. ================================================= Message text written by "J. Matthew Pryor" >To Steve's point, if you want to allow more business focused people to use a highly productive design environment to specify business processes, then you almost certainly need a different meta-model than that which underlies BPEL. In this case, it would be sensible to then develop [canonical?] mappings between the high-level notation meta-model and the execution focused BPEL (this is what is currently being done with BPMN for BPEL & BPML - sorry about all the acronyms). This allows for dealing with issues such as graph oriented versus block structured etc. I encourage people to talk with the folks who have done a lot of excellent work on the BPMN to tap into their experience. The output of the OMG RFP that Fred mentioned would also fill this bill. <
