document: Conceptual modeling and specification generation for B2B business processes based on ebXML In order to support dynamic setup of business processes among independent organizations , a formal standard schema for describing the business processes is basically required . The ebXML framework provides such a specification schema called BPSS -LRB- Business Process Specification Schema -RRB- which is available in two standalone representations : a UML version , and an XML version . The former , however , is not intended for the direct creation of business process specifications , but for defining specification elements and their relationships required for creating an ebXML-compliant business process specification . For this reason , it is very important to support conceptual modeling that is well organized and directly matched with major modeling concepts . This paper deals with how to represent and manage B2B business processes using UML-compliant diagrams . The major challenge is to organize UML diagrams in a natural way that is well suited to the business process meta-model and then to transform the diagrams into an XML version . This paper demonstrates the usefulness of conceptually modeling business processes by prototyping a business process editor tool called ebDesigner
