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

Rajesh,

Can you propose a consolidated, cleaned-up statement that we can discuss
today at 4pm ET? It sounds like the discussion is winding down, and
consensus is forming :-)

Thanks,
++harvey

Agreed on the level of granularity.. As it is clear an 'entity' is
placeholder when things are referred at a very high level. but once we are
in a context (e.g., B2B) things (i.e entities) will be referred with their
roles in the context or as the actors that play a particular role. Thus we
need not go into defining the entity in details - there is no detail, if we
go into detail they will become actors or roles. 

my 2c.

mm1: This is the level of granularity that seems appropriate, and is in 
line with my suggestions. What does everyone else think?
