* [__*Transfer Process Protocol*__](./transfer/transfer.process.protocol.md) and [__*Transfer Process HTTPS Binding*__](./transfer/transfer.process.binding.https.md) documents that define how [Transfer Processes](./model/terminology.md#transfer-process) using a given data transfer protocol are governed via HTTPS
endpoints.

This specification does not cover the data transfer process as such.
While the data transfer is controlled by the __*Transfer Process Protocol*__ mentioned above, e.g. the initation of the transfer channels or their decomissioning, the data transfer itself and especially the handling of technical exceptions is an obligation to the Transport Protocol.
As an implication, the data transfer can be conducted in a separated process if required, as long as this process is to the specified extend controlled by the __*Transfer Process Protocol*__.
