Frank, that looks good, but when it comes to business processes, here are my comments:

Business Process
A business process is a description [sequence] of the tasks, participants' roles and
information [flow] needed to fulfill a business objective.
Business processes are often used to describe the actions and interactions that form
business transactions. This is most clear when the business process defines an activity
involving parties external to the organization; however, even within an enterprise, a
business process typically involves multiple participants and stakeholders.[what does this sentence mean? Its just a filler]
In the context of transactions mediated and supported by electronic means, business
processes are often required to be defined well enough to permit automation [automation is nice, but the processes have to be defined irrespectively of it]. The forms
of such definitions are often referred to as choreographies [are you implying that process definition is choreography?]:
