Could you define what you mean by "business goals" please? I've checked the archives, and didn't see any reference to that term. <sd> I hope this is not a trick question:-)) Coming to think of it, I haven't seen a definition either. I will not even try! I used the phrase "business goals" to refer to the set of goals being debated in the thread "Business Infrastructure[1]" and in comments such as from Tim Coote [2] as well as those goals (security, reliability,...) that are considered important in enabling the use of web for commercial transactions (I am probably missing some other important references - hopefully somebody in the list will add to the list below). This phrase is also used in the requirements document[3] (D-AG0002, D-AG0003). You might ask the respective champions of these goals as well as the editors of the req. doc. for a definition. Hope I am being helpful here. -Suresh [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-arch/2002Mar/0269.html [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-arch/2002Mar/0331.html [3] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/arch/2/wd-wsawg-reqs-03042002.html </sd>
