Title: RE: [wsbpel-uc] Definition of "Entity"
I think we are close.
My proposed changes -- I think we should
re-introduce the 'functional' qualifier, and drop the 'and
roles...' clause, so it would read something like this:
"An entity is any functional organization,
including for example businesses, government agencies, and division or
departments within such organizations."
The 'roles' clause doesn't
add anything to what qualifies as an entity, and it may confuse things later as
we flesh out the vocabulary - e.g., I anticipate that we will want to
talk about entities taking on various roles, etc.
HTH,
Rand

Definition of "Entity"
Sally,
your definition sounds good to me
/An entity is any component of an organization to
include businesses,government agencies, divisions or departments within
organizations,and roles within organizations such as seller./
Also, the difference with UN/CEFACT definition of a
business entity can be enumerated as a footnote.
thanks

mm1: This is the level of
granularity that seems appropriate, and is in
line with my suggestions. What does
everyone else think?
