This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Section 2.3.3 "A Relationship specifies the mutual commitments, based on the Role types and the Behavior type required, that two participants oblige to provide in order to participate in a common business transaction." Outside of the scope of WS-Chor - Chor could be directed to participate.
This issue is not clear to us, request clarification within the context of the apr 3 cdl spec from orignator (monica)
Monica: Resolved: The specification has been clarified with this text: See section 2.1: "In order to facilitate these collaborations, services commit on mutual responsibilities by establishing Relationships. Their collaboration takes place in a jointly agreed set of ordering and constraint rules, whereby messages are exchanged between the parties." My original question related to the boundaries that relationships surrounded (which are found in a business contract not a technical one). This revised text is satisfactory. The business transaction reference actually is outside of WS-CDL (as referenced in Section 1 and 6 where coordination protocol, transactions, etc are mentioned).
