1.2.1.2.3 BusinessInteraction class
Qualified Name: Common::Business Interaction::ObjectClasses::BusinessInteraction
Description:
A BusinessInteraction is an arrangement, contract, communication or joint activity between one or more PartyRoles, ResourceRoles, or CustomerAccounts. A BusinessInteraction may consist of one or more BusinessInteractionItems. A BusinessInteractionItem may refer to a Product, Service, Resource, or one of their specifications. A BusinessInteraction is further defined by one or more Places. One BusinessInteraction may reference another BusinessInteraction and one BusinessInteractionItem may reference another BusinessInteractionItem on the same or different BusinessInteraction.

1.2.1.2.5 BusinessInteractionSpec class
Qualified Name: Common::Business Interaction::ObjectClasses::BusinessInteractionSpec
Description:
The invariant characteristics (attributes in the business view, and methods, constraints, relationships, and behavior in the system view) and behavior of a BusinessInteraction. This is done by optionally defining a set of BusinessInteractionSpecItems, each of which aggregates one or more other types of Specifications. This helps to ensure that different BusinessInteractions have the same basic characteristics and behavior by deriving them from the same BusinessInteractionSpec.
