>I am happy to announce an open source, free software 'ebXML
>Collaboration Protocol Agreement (CPA) formation process' project. The
>project is an off-spring of an academic project at Curtin University,
>Perth, Australia.

>What is an ebXML CPA formation process?
>---------------------------------------
>
>The ebXML Collaboration Protocol Agreement (CPA) formation process is
>the process of forming the CPA from two Collaboration Protocol Profile's
>(CPP's). Please visit the ebXML website for the ebXML specifications at
>http://www.ebxml.org
>
>
>Project structure:
>------------------
>
>This project divides the CPA formation process into 3 levels.
>
>Level 1 is a pure algorithm which looks at the two CPP's and checks XML
>elements, attributes against each other. The algorithm writes matches to
>a new draft CPA. Conflicting elements, attributes are written to the
>conflict file (in future versions will be a NDD (Negotiation Description
>Document)). The algorithms logs what is done during the run.
>
>Level 2 goes one step ahead and uses two Business Service Systems (BSI),
>currently non conform ebXML BSI's, plus some negotiation strategy at
>both ends to try to negotiate over conflicting elements, attributes from
>level 1. The negotiation follows the Negotiation CPA and the Negotiation
>Business Process Specification.
>
>Level 3 is for human to human interaction to finalise the draft CPA and
>to get to a valid, well-formed CPA. Level 3 follows the Negotiation CPA.
>
>Status
>------
>
>- Level 1 is partly implemented. Some elements are currently not
>considered.
>- Infrastructure for Level 2, Level 3 is implemented (sort of a BSI
>system).
>- Level 2 not implemented yet
>- Level 3 implementation started

>programming language, including ruby's REXML XML parser, SOAP4Ruby and
