Dan, The CPA is defined as being between two Parties, each having a PartyId. If I remember correctly, the MS spec defines Parties as the sender and receiver of a message. What has to be made clear is that a business enterprise may consist of many Parties, so that PartyId cannot be equated with an enterprise. To make this clear, one may have to define the term "enterprise" or another term that works for both very large and very small companies.

Is that right? MWS: Let's try this: An enterprise may own one or more PartyIds. A given PartyId belongs to only one enterprise. In that sense, it is unique. That's fine, as far as the relationship between "enterprise" and "PartyId" goes. But I also think we have to state that the relationship between "PartyId" and "party" is *not* that a PartyId identifies a party, as one might otherwise presume from the name. -- Dan ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe or unsubscribe from this elist use the subscription manager: <http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl>
