    Subject: AW: [ubl] Updated Extended Procurement Process Model


    What I like is that the model implicitely starts from the contract, which
    constitues a business. The whole German 'Handelsgesetzbuch' [trade law act]
    talks about traders either as seller or buyer. In further steps these basic
    parties are split down to further parties, which have been established with
    a deeper division of work, and consequently with further contracts, e.g.
    transport, insurance. Then, unfortunately, Customs, i.e. the state, came as
    a further basic party, emptying the pockets...
    
    What I would recommend is to call it 'supply side' and 'buy side'. This
    avoids any wrong use of 'supplier' - otherwise the model runs into the
    typical shellfish problem, how to express that somebody else than the buyer
    supplies the good and services. Nevertheless the term 'supplier' can be used
    in a column synonym for the seller - we have to live with the reality of the
    traditional, old fashioned use of terms. I use the term traditional, because
    the use of the term 'supplier' comes from a world, where the view of a buyer
    was egocentric, i.e. they defined everything in relationship to themselves.
    But in a world, where even competing oil companies echange the products,
    everybody has to consider himself as a part of a chain.

    I received several useful comments on the document, nothing substantive,
    mainly editorial and cosmetic.  I have applied these to create a new
    version.
    
    Unless anyone dissents on the calls this week this will be the model for
    UBL 2.0.
