- Business Partner an entity that engages in Business Transactions with another Business Partner(s).
- Collaboration-Protocol Profile (CPP) The Message-exchange capabilities of a Party
- Collaboration-Protocol Agreement (CPA) The Message-exchange agreement between two Parties
A CPA MAY be created by computing the intersection of the two Partners’ CPPs. Included in the CPP and CPA are details of transport, messaging, security constraints, and bindings to a Business-Process-Specification (or, for short, Process-Specification) document that contains the definition of the interactions between the two Parties while engaging in a specified electronic Business Collaboration.
A Party use repository to find Business Partners (other Parties).
A CPP includes many PartyInfo elements (Parties) each of which contains a reference to one Process-Specification document.
A Process-Specification document identifies the Business Collaborations that a Party can perform.
CPPs and CPAs are [XML] documents.
The CPP describes the capabilities of an individual Party. A CPA describes the capabilities that two Parties have agreed to use to perform particular Business Collaborations.
An enterprise MAY choose to represent itself as multiple Parties.
Client and Server are software counterparts, Requester and Responder are business counterparts, and Sender and Receiver are messaging counterparts.

A Collaboration-Protocol Agreement (CPA) defines the capabilities that two Parties need to agree upon to enable them to engage in electronic Business for the purposes of the particular CPA.
