The effort can be classified into two types: cooperation process description and implementation-oriented modeling. The business description is usually easier for users to understand but is hard to realize. The paper discusses business cooperation scenarios from perspectives of partners, types, control and data and analyzes its modeling requirements.

A model mapping technique is put forward to transfer the cooperation description model to BPEL model that can be executed by service-oriented workflow engine.
