Subject: [ebBP] 11/2/2004: Schema #4 - HasLegalIntent Attribute
On Monday, we discussed this slightly revised text for the HasLegalIntent attribute. I am specifically asking Jamie Clark and Kelly Ray to review. "This attribute is an optional character that could represents a statement or commitment between trading partners, and their shared intent. Referencing the eCommerce Patterns v1.0, the digital signature cannot in and of itself infer intent [1]. This constraint exists on a Business Transaction Activity. This constraint could be used as a substantive and enforceable precondition on the BTA. The mechanisms in the BSI that provide the capability to support this precondition are: a. reliability b. document security: confidential, tamper detectable and authenticated c. nonrepudiation d. authorization e. predictability An offer must be resolved whether intentional or not. The contractual framework, agreements and their application to any artifact are outside of this specification. hasLegalIntent could have widely differing interpretations and enforceability depending on type of business, process, and jurisdiction. No implication of interpretation or enforcability is made by the ebBP committee. Reference eCommerce Patterns, v1.0, May 2001, http://www.ebxml.org/specs/bpPATT.pdf." Feedback is requested this week from all team members. Thanks. Original reference: http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/ebxml-bp/200411/msg00004.html
