The document named RIDE D.5.3.1 ebBP Editor User Manual v1.0.4
(ebBP-Editor-UserManualv1.0.4.pdf) has been submitted by Ms. Asuman Dogac*
to the OASIS ebXML Business Process TC document repository.

Document Description:
ebBP Editor User Manual has been also updated to address 
the recent improvements in the ebBP Editor (the improved source code is
uploaded to https://sourceforge.net/projects/freebxmlbp).
There are some significant improvements to the editor; like importing
packages, on-the-fly validation, look and feel support, displaying the
business activity sequence in a business collaboration. 

The improvements to the ebBP Editor is realized under an European 
Commission funded project RIDE (IST-4-027065-CA).  

Here is the list of the enhancements to the ebBP Editor: 
    * XmlStylist, which is a part of the ebBP Editor, has the capability of
creating and modifying any valid ebBP instances according to ebBP Technical
Specification v2.0.3.
    * XmlStylist is made user-friendly. 
    * Validation procedure in XmlStylist has been strengthened. After each
modification and closure of XmlStylist, the available ebBP instance is
subjected to a validation check.
    * Packages, which are the modular ebBP elements, can be imported to an
ebBP instance via XmlStylist.
    * From Start to Completion (Success and/or Failure), the flow in a
Business Collaboration can be visualized in the ebBP Editor. This version
supports displaying Roles, Business Transaction Activities, Completion
elements, and the links between those elements in a Business Collaboration
"automatically" after XmlStylist generates a Process Specification. The
widgets used for visualization are based on BPMN.
    * Multiparty Collaborations are handled in this version.
    * Look and Feel support is added.
    * Splash screen is added.
    * Note the difference that, XmlStylist can handle any ebBP instance,
but the graphical component pane (tabbed pane) can handle only Process
Specifications.     

The future work that remains are:

*  The visualized ebBP elements should be enriched in type. Collaboration
Activity, Complex Business Transaction Activity etc. may be included to the
set of displayable elements.

*  The current version is tested with ebBP Technical Specification v2.0.3.
Usage of another version of this document may cause unhandled exceptions.

*  The graphical component pane should be improved in a user-friendly
manner and also, the level of coupling between this module and XmlStylist
module may be decreased.

*   A communication bridge between ebXML Registries and the ebBP Editor can
be constructed as a functionality of the ebBP Editor. Over this bridge, one
can access ebBP instances in an ebXML Registry or upload a newly created
instance to that registry.

*    The ebBP Editor should have the web accessibility capability.

*   More testing with real-life scenarios will definitely contribute to the
overall quality of the tool.
