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... > > -Bob Haugen > > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > To unsubscribe from this elist send a message with the single word > "unsubscribe" in the body to: ebxml-cppa-request@lists.oasis-open.org
