Re: Reply regarding JEITA's BPSS

["Yukinori Saito" <saito-yukinori@fujielectric.co.jp>]

Dear Monica J. Martin,

I inform the followings to your inquiries.

1. Your misunderstanding
You said "As ECOM has created these process definitions using ebBP. This is
successful usage of the technical specification. Would ECOM be willing to
acknowledge that to OASIS." This is your misunderstanding.
ECOM and JEITA are the different organizations in Japan. ECOM is a standard
body regarding EC in Japan. ECOM is an independent organization to many
industries. On the other hand, JEITA is an organization of the electric and
electronics industry in Japan.
Actually, JEITA has created these process definitions using ebBP. ECOM has
neither the relation nor the contribution for this job.

2. Answers to your inquiries
The following statements are the statements by the secretary general of EC
Center of JEITA.

(1) Statement of ebBP usage
The EC Center of Japan Electronics & Information Technology Industries
Association (JEITA) has developed and has been operating ECALGA standard,
which is a XML based EDI standard for the electric and electronics industry
in Japan. The ECALGA standard is using ebMS, ebCPPA, and ebBP specifications
among the ebXML specifications.

(2) Any consideration to provide the process specification in English
The business process specifications of ECALGA are described in Japanese
language. XML values in BPSS instances are described using Japanese
language. At present, there is no plan to translate the specifications to
English language.

3. Please change the titles and others regarding uploaded BPSS samples of
JEITA at ebBP page.
The sample BPSS instances developed by JEITA are uploaded in the Document
page of TC members page at ebBP TC page in OASIS Web site.
The title and the document name are inappropriate. Please delete the word
"ECOM". Because, ECOM has neither the relation nor the contribution for
these samples.
(1) Title
"ECOM JEITA ebBP sample process definitions in Japanese"
should be changed to
"JEITA ebBP sample process definitions in Japanese"
(2) Document names
"ecom-jeita-ebbp-samples-definitions-aug2006.zip"
should be changed to
"jeita-ebbp-samples-definitions-aug2006.zip"

Best Regards,
Yukinori Saito

Saito-San,
Given we have posted the definitions developed, would ECOM be willing to
specify that they could successful use the ebBP technical specification
(see item 2 below). This is outside the contributions, implementations
or applications realm but only an indication (which OASIS calls a
'certification') of successful use. This would allow us to proceed to
OASIS Standard ballot. Thank you.

>mm1: Saito-san, this work will be an enabler for users of ebBP in your
>>region. I will post them this week. Two questions:
>>
>>   1. As ECOM has created these process definitions using ebBP. This is

>>      willing to acknowledge that to OASIS. This certification bolsters
>>      our move to OASIS Standard. There are no contributions, product or
>>      tool, or other requirements around this certification. It is only
>>      a statement of usage.
>>   2. Would there be any consideration to provide the process
>>      specifications in English?
>>
>>Best regards Saito-san. We look forward to hearing from you and commend
>>the progress you have made thus far. Thank you.
