BPEL4People Final Spec published

I just noticed that the final specification of BPEL4People (WS-BPEL extension for people) is released. The authors of the specification plan to submit the specifications to OASIS in the near future and will propose a Technical Committee to produce an OASIS standard based on it.

The BPEL4People specification is supported by a group of leading technology vendors, including Active Endpoints, Adobe, BEA Systems, IBM, Oracle and SAP AG. It defines how to integrate human interactions in WS-BPEL 2.0. Since the official WS-BPEL standard currently does not define human interaction, Oracle (and other vendors) currently has its own implementation of incorporating people in a BPEL process using the Human Workflow component.

It looks like this new BPEL4People standard will finally bring some standardization in the industry on incorporating people in a BPEL process. This sounds like a good thing for customers like us.
