This is especially true if we intend BPM standards and standard-based BPM products >to subsume the current workflow systems. I think a process technology must be neutral to business semantics. It should not impose one way of thinking about business. Our approach with BPML or BPEL is: - to allow it to transport business semantic information - to allow process reuse so that developers can capture semantically meaningful idioms and reuse those in other processes Howard --- New Book - Business Process Management: The Third Wave www.bpm3.com Howard Smith/CSC/BPMI.org cell +44 7711 594 494 (operates worldwide, dial UK) office +44 20 8660 1963
