i agree with marty, the issue of what is (or is not) an "organisation/company" is too
complex and un-necessarily restrictive.
this highlights the need to clarify the use of the term "trading partner" (or 'trading
party' if you prefer).
is it possible that a TP (whatever that stands for!) have a single CPP (and potentially
many CPAs). Maybe each CPP defines what the TP is???
the current glossary leaves this open. might i suggest that this is almost self-defining.
"A trading partner (or 'trading party' if you prefer) performs one role in a Collaboration
Protocol Profile."
For example, if K-Mart have a division that deals with purchasing goods from SE Asia and
this group have a defined CPP for contract suppliers and other for ad-hoc purchasing, then
there would be two TPs. One for K-Mart/SE Asia/contract and another for K-Mart/SE
Asia/ad-hoc.
- is that the way the TP team is thinking?
