Re: Issue 1092: State relationship between WS-CDL and ebBP

 From some of the comments received at the 2005-Mar-01 F2F, I would like 
to revise the text to add to 1.5 or a subsequent section to read as 
follows:

"Relationship with the ebXML Business Process framework

The ebXML Business Process Specification Schema technical 
specification, the product of ongoing work contributed by OASIS and 
UN/CEFACT, defines a standardized language by which business systems 
may be configured to support execution of business collaborations. Such 
business collaborations consist of business transactions, which are 
implemented through semantics defined in one of several standard, 
extensible or trading partner-specific business transaction patterns. 
These patterns specify the business message exchange (requests, 
responses and business signals) applicable to a given business 
transaction definition.

As of ebBP v2.0, defined Business Transaction patterns can be mapped to 
abstract operations. When preferable, these can be combined with CPPA 
support of concrete WSDL to allow the mapping of business transaction 
activities and well-defined transaction patterns to WSDL abstract 
operations in disparate environment, while leveraging the reuse of 
business transactions in collaborations.

In such cases, CDL and ebBP could be used in a loosely coupled, yet 
complementary manner, where CDL supports the choreography based on 
endpoint references related to WSDL, while ebBP specifies the operation 
mapping to the recognized business transaction patterns. This 
association is beneficial and useful where complex activities occur in 
the collaboration environment. "

Please provide any feedback you may have.
