QUESTION POSED ON: 13 August 2003 Does RosettaNet compete with BPEL4WS? How are the two similar/different?
>
RosettaNet is a framework which defines standard processes for the
electronic sharing of business information. RosettaNet is focused on
enabling dynamic, flexible trading networks, operational efficiency and
creation of new business opportunities. RosettaNet Partner Interface
Processes (PIPs) are specialized system-to-system XML-based dialogs that
define business processes between trading partners. Each PIP
specification includes a business document with the vocabulary, and a
business process with the choreography of the message dialog.
RosettaNet is in need of leveraging interoperable industry standards for
ensuring smooth rollout of its implementation by participating
companies. As such, RosettaNet is highly synergistic with the emerging
XML Web services stack, in particular BPEL4WS, which can be used for
advanced business process descriptions (orchestration), compatible with
the PIP specifications (choreography). The relationships developed
between the RosettaNet and OASIS Consortiums should be able to render
the use of BPEL4WS within the RosettaNet framework, a likely development
in the future.
