[ebxml-iic] Re: [ebxml-dev] CPA Formation

[Martin W Sachs <mwsachs@us.ibm.com>]

Regine,

There is a lot of information in Appendix E of the CPPA specification.

At this time, there are no mapping rules of the sort that I believe you are
interested in. There are some things that I believe are generally
understood, such as the one you mentioned "both partners have to support
the same transmission protocol".  This and other similar matters are
mentioned in Appendix E. I don't believe that what is defined at the
business process level will help you since everything at the ebxml business
process level is defined in terms of roles.  The connection to
"implementation" is performed by the CPA.

Work is beginning in the ebXML interoperability team on the creation of
profiles that I expect will contain the kind of mapping information that
you are looking for.

Regards,
Marty

Hi,

can anybody help me? I'm trying to programm an automated "negotiation tool"
and at the moment I compare 2 CPPs in order to create a CPA.
The problem is, that for me it is inexplicit, where certain rules have to
be
deposed to create a generic tool which can deal with any possible business
processes and the appendant actions (e. g. PIP3A4 from Rosettanet with the
dependant action bindings). Is it necessary to have a storage or something
for each possible business process ?
Or in other words:
Is there a repository / another XML-specifications for something like
mapping rules? E.g. <Buyer> has to correspond with the role <seller>
however
both partners have to support the same transmission protocol. Where can I
derive this information from?

Thanks in advance
