[ebxml-cppa] Re: [ebxml-cppa-negot] RE: BSI distinguishing success,failure, and transition conditions

[Duane Nickull <duane@xmlglobal.com>]

I wish to clarify what a BSI is for all those who have been actively
discussing the subject.

The Business Service Interface is an abstract architectural concept that
is declared by several implementable artifacts.  Those artifacts include
the CPP/A, Message Service and the Business Processes/Collaborations and
other associated information.  Together,  the instance values/details
contained in those artifacts must represent all the possible information
that another party would need to conduct business with you
electronically.  Thus,  these declare the interface one may use for
servicing e-business. 

The BSI is not something that will be described in a specification or
built as a stand alone application.

This is not represented clearly in the current draft due to us not
receiving an editable version of the overview (ahem - Mr. Yunker, may we
please have this?).  The BSI is akin to the UMM Business Service View
collection, albeit not exactly.  Please be aware that there are several
changes due for the current archtiecture draft and there is no current
comment period hence we are not collecting comments.

Thank you.

Duane Nickull
