Proposed revised wording for issue #218 (my action item from last meeting)

[Peter F Brown <peter@peterfbrown.com>]

Current text (lines 2185-90):

Business collaborations typically represent the interaction involved in executing business transactions.

It is important to note that business collaborations represent “peer”-style interactions; in other words, peers in a business collaboration act as equals.  This means that unlike the orchestration of business processes, there is no single or central entity that coordinates or “conducts” a business collaboration.  These peer styles of interactions typically occur between trading partners that span organizational boundaries.

 

Proposed new wording:

Business collaborations typically represent the interaction involved in executing business transactions. These styles of interaction typically occur between trading partners that span organizational boundaries.

It is important to note that business collaborations achieve their goals through actions undertaken by and among themselves without the need for an “external” entity that coordinates or “conducts” those actions. This is in contrast to business process orchestration that does require such an entity.

 

Best,

Peter
