== ebXML ⌘ ==
* Electronic Business using eXtensible Markup Language
* AKA: e-business XML, ebXML
* ebXML is a family of XML based standards sponsored by OASIS and UN/CEFACT
* "mission is to provide an open, XML-based infrastructure that enables the global use of electronic business information in an interoperable, secure, and consistent manner by all trading partners" (from Wiki)

== Choreography ⌘ ==
* A Choreography is an ordering of Business Activities within a Business Collaboration.
* The purpose of a Choreography is to specify which BTA, Complex Business Transaction Activity and/or Collaboration Activity should (are expected to) happen
* As a result, the specification of choreography definition and the Business Transaction protocol defines unambiguously which business message (DocumentEnvelope or Business Signal) is expected by any of the parties

== Business States ⌘==
* The choreography is specified in terms of '''Business States''', and '''transitions''' between those Business States
* When a transition is validated:
** it does not mean that the target Business Activity would start immediately
** it means that the Business Activity is “enabled” and the initiating party MAY now send the request whenever appropriate, provided that it remains within the TimeToPerform of the Binary (Business) Collaboration
* It is merely the execution of the backend systems, which instruct the BSI (Business Service Interface) to send or receive messages that advance the state of a collaboration
* There is no execution engine associated to the collaboration itself.

== Collabaration State ⌘==
* The Business Collaboration is either in the state of performing a given Business Activity (or multiple concurrent Business Activities) or waiting to start a Business Activity, unless it has reached a completion state
* Once a Business Activity completes a transition from this Business Activity, it navigates to another Business Activity
* A business message initiates a Business Collaboration or advances its state
