  1. Roll Call (see above)
  2. Administrative Items:
  3. Acceptance of prior meeting minutes
  4. Verification of call date/time: calls will be held on a weekly basis (alternate weeks of the WSBPEL TC call). Note that there are no plans to cancel our calls for the month of August.
  5. Problems with accessing documents/mailing list appear to have been resolved.
  6. Semantics Discussion:
  7. The group decided to utilize the term “usage scenario”.
  8. A usage scenario will provide a high level overview that can be drilled down into one or more specific detailed Use Cases
  9. Usage Scenario Discussion:
  10. Harvey Reed submitted a document (see that provides the following:
  11. A usage scenario based upon the Supply Chain
  12. Recommendations for identifying and developing usage scenarios
  13. Constraints for a given usage scenario may vary and should be identified in advance
  14. The subgroup appeared to agree that internationalization does not necessarily belong in BPEL. Usage scenarios should incorporate support for internationalization but should not necessarily be exclusively focused on internationalization issues.
  15. Harvey made several revisions to this document to incorporate feedback from the subgroup.
  16. ACTION ITEM: Harvey will re-post his proposal
  17. ACTION ITEM: Everyone should review this document and respond with comments
  18. The WS-I has developed a Supply Chain Management Use Case model (see Members of this subgroup should review this document for possible consideration.
  19. While multiple use cases may exist (RosettaNet, CPFR, SCOR, Simpl-EB, others), we must avoid attempting to “boil the ocean”. Since Simpl-EB is the lowest common denominator for e-business, it may make sense to start with it. Participants are encouraged to read the Simpl-EB document at and post comments to the mailing list.
  20. ACTION ITEM: Ben Bloch will meet with Peter to leverage his work from the Issues List. Ben will document this process utilized for the subgroup.
  21. We need to select one or more usage scenario proposals for presentation to TC next week (or prior to the next TC conf call).
  22. Call adjourned at 17:10 ET
