Subject: Aignment of OASIS ASAP and jCAM
Keith, Thank you for doing the demonstration walkthru for the BPSS team today of ASAP. My feedback is as follows. #1 - I did not realize that ASAP has a formal data alignment step to it - therefore I'd like to propose the recommendation of OASIS CAM XML templates and the open source jCAM component as a means to formalize those exchanges. This would significantly enhance the 'plug and play' aspects of ASAP - since if a jCAM template exists that matches your exchange profile - it can be immediately deployed to handle both the information mapping, and business rule / syntax checking. This would occur during the normal connect sequence of ASAP and can be assoicated via the WSDL. You can download a tutorial on CAM and the jCAM from the OASIS CAM website frontpage links. #2 - from the BPSS perspective - BPSS V2 already has support for the ASAP process flow model - via the BTA mechanism - the endsWhen conditional and a single document definition - in fact ASAP could very much be viewed as BPSS-lite in this regard. Therefore we can easily model ASAP processes in BPSS - with the added advantage of being able to extend those processes as needed. To explore this - I'd recommend looking at the BPSS models at my development site: http://drrw.net/visualscripts/#ebxml #3 - Again the ASAP agreement profile - URL + document - looks like ebXML CPA-lite - so the potential exists to use CPA to decribe ASAP configurations. This would provide much more robust authentication and business agreement formalization - where needed - particularly for process steps have legalIntent. This is something we have also recently refined in the BPSS V2 work. In summary - looks like jCAM templates are a great fit for formalizing ASAP document exchange handling as XML scripts - while BPSS V2 and CPA provide the roadmap for covering off the 20% side that falls outside the 80% sweetspot that ASAP is aiming at. Look forward to working on these aspects in due course. Thanks, DW.
