I can't resist... 

Q: In a paper-based multiparty collaboration (e.g. normal business 
operations of today and all of the days before now), who *controls* 
the collaboration?

Oooh! oooh! <raises and waves hand vigorously>

Yes Horshack? <rolls eyes>

A: Nobody!

Why would or for that matter should this be ANY different in e-business?
IMO, each party in a collaboration, multiparty or otherwise, can only
*control* its own participation. It can and more than likely should 
know only about the state of affairs between itself and its direct
partners, not its partner's partners.

Gee, I wonder how business gets done these days without some
great UML model in the sky telling us what to do every step of
the way...
