We still need a few lines highlighting what's new for:

- reg rep

- CPPA

The ebXML CPPA TC has two major current initiatives. The first is the completion of an update of ebXML CPPA version 2, and the second is a note on the construction of services for the exchange and completion of CPAs.

The CPPA update will include several textual clarifications and technical schema modifications that have been approved since the publication of ebXML CPPA version 2 (ISO 15000-1:2004). A normative appendix defines how ISO 6523 codes are mapped into URIs that identify Party types.

The major changes in the updated version of the CPPA specification are found in an extension framework that makes use of substitution groups to allow CPPs and CPAs to be expanded to address other approaches to Business Process specifications and other approaches to Delivery Channels. Application of this extensibility approach to other styles of messaging protocols (EDIINT, WS-*, and ebMS 3.0) are provided. Ways to incorporate WSDL and WS-Policy are also planned as applications. The OASIS ebBP business process specification is likewise accommodated within the new extensibility approach. All CPP or CPA version 2 instances will be validated using the new schema following a change of namespace and some editorial changes to align with new schema defaults on attribute prefixes. Finally, an alternative structure for CollaborationRole allows for a much “flatter” content model.

The negotiation drafts have been extensively revised to make use of the Negotiation Descriptor Document in a considerably simplified CPA template agreement process. The document is in the initial stages of the editorial process.
