[DS3] Request-response - revised

DS3   Two parties wish to conduct electronic business by the exchange of
business documents.
      The sending party packages one or more documents into a request
message which is then sent to
      the receiving party. The receiving party then processes the message
contents and responds to
      the sending party. Examples of the sending party's documents may be
purchase order requests,
      manufacturing information and patient healthcase information.
Examples of the receiving party's
      responses may include order confirmations, change control information
and contractual acknowledgements.
