RE: [wsbpel] CEFACT Liaison Review

[David RR Webber <david@drrw.info>]

Tony,

Actually I was seeing the EXACT opposite!

The BCF work was never mentioned when we voted on this - nor was even known / 
announced / released by CEFACT.

The idea (so I thought!) was that you were liaising with the BPM folks vis 
their BPM catalogue work and how those instances could relate to BPEL.

Clearly the BCF is a completely different animal.  

I'm particularly troubled by the notion that CEFACT could be setting a 
framework here and expecting OASIS to deliver technology to implement it.
That is clearly way way out of scope for BPEL V1.0.

If anyone should be talking to CEFACT about BCF - it is the OASIS TAG team.
Anything else at this point is potentially extremely prejudicial.

As a further point.  As OASIS BCM team liason - I feel strongly that the OASIS 
BCM team work should be getting priority for our precious time and resources, 
ahead of any work from CEFACT.

Apart from that - everything is just fine!

Thanks, DW.
