Title: RE: [wsbpel-uc] Definition of "Entity"

Sally,
your definition sounds good to me

/An entity is any component of an organization to include businesses,government agencies, divisions or departments within organizations,and roles within organizations such as seller./

Also, the difference with UN/CEFACT definition of a business entity can be enumerated as a footnote.

thanks
