BPSS

The business-process modeling layer of the ebXML framework.

Definition

BPSS formally describes the choreography of a B2B exchange: Binary Collaborations, Business Transactions, document flows (request/response) and acknowledgement signals. The business document and its roles are then referenced by the CPP/CPA, tying the process model to the messaging configuration.

Origin

Published as the "ebXML Business Process Specification Schema" by the ebXML initiative (OASIS / UN/CEFACT), then maintained by the OASIS ebXML BP Technical Committee.

Example in context

<BusinessTransaction name="CreatePurchaseOrder"><RequestingBusinessActivity/><RespondingBusinessActivity/></BusinessTransaction>

  • CPP / CPA — references the roles defined by BPSS.
  • ebXML — parent standards family.
