Deliverables from the Requirements Gathering Working Group

The Requirements Gathering Working Group works to identify and understand Web services interoperability issues, and to develop requirements for new WS-I profiles. This is done by analyzing business scenarios and use cases that are submitted by the membership and the industry at large.

In this context, a “business scenario” is a description of a current business problem or new business opportunity, either from a business person’s point of view or described in business process terms. Similarly, a “use case” for a particular application is a step-by-step description of the interactions between the actors, roles, and system under consideration.
