Hi Kathryn,

Hope all is well with 
you.

The gentleman below has questions regarding implementation of ebXML 
RIM and Services.  If there is an OASIS email list for such questions, 
could you please forward?  If not, should I forward to the regular ebXML TC 
list?

regards,

Hi
My name is Damian Rzepczyk and I live in 
  Poland.
I got your email address from www.ebxml.org from document ebXML Registry 
  Information Model v2.0. (ebRIM.pdf).
There 
  is written you are Team Leader. That's why I decide to write to 
  you.
Now I am working in project connected 
  to ebXML. We want to build ebXML Registry and Repository to 
  store:
- business process 
  models
- electronic documents 
  schema
- Collaboration Protocol Profile 
  CPP
My task is to design how to store the 
  CPP i our Repository.
So I would ask you 
  some questions.
One party of this project is 
  GUI WWW interface.
We would like to build interface which allow user to 
  enter and edit 
CPP in the web browser (for example MS Internet 
  Explorer).
The problem is that we don't know how to do web page that allow 
  enter 
and edit CPP. We don't know how to organize that.
After review 
  the ebXML Collaboration Protocol Profile and Agreement v 
2.0 we wonder if 
  build Web CPP editor is possible. There are many 
optional tags in CPP, 
  some tags can appear zero or more times.
Do you know some tools for editing 
  CPP?
Do you have any idea how CPP editor could look like?
The other 
  thing I would like to ask is who creates CPP? I mean which 
person in the 
  enterprise? If the main manager could create CPP for him 
enterprise? Could 
  main manager know things which must be entered to 
CPP? Or that should be 
  person who know software and hardware in the 
enterprise? For example 
  software engineer, which knows 
TransportProtocol, EndPoint, Security, 
  etc.
I asking that question because we would like to create some online 
  
help for our CPP editor and we would like know how to explain thing 
  
for end user.
The next question is how store CPP in SQL 
  database.
There are 2 solutions:
1. Store whole CPP XML file in one 
  column in table.
2. Divide the CPP on tags, and store CPP in few tables. 
  For example divide CPP on PartyInfo, SimplePart, Packaking, Signature. Then 
  divide PartyInfo, divide SimplePart, and so on.
Could you tell me which 
  solutions is better?
The 1 is very easy for implement. But later is more 
  dificult to edit that CPP in web browser. The searching is more difficult, 
  too. For example how to find CPP which have tp:partyName == "Acme"? For all 
  CPPs stored in repository, parse CPP and check if tag tp:partyName == 
  "Acme"?
The 2 is very complex. But later is easier to do editor in web 
  browser.
And searching is easier (SELECT * FROM PartyInfo WHERE partyName = 
  "ACME" ).
One more issue. What if the one 
  client digitaly sign CPP, and put signature to CPP XML in tag tp:Signature. 
  Then client put CPP in our repository. We divide it and put all values to 
  tables. When second client want to download the first client CPP, we will get 
  values from tables, and put to XML. But then the signature won't meet the CPP 
  XML file :(
So if I think properly, we must not divide signed CPP? If we 
  get signded CPP we must store it in one field in 
  table?
 
Could you help us, and tell 
  us what you think?
Or could you pick the 
  person which can answer my questions?
 
Best regards:)
