RE: [ebsoa] SOA Collaboration Semantics
Goran,

 

Thanks for sending these documents - it's clear that a 
great deal of work has gone into them.

 

I 
have a few questions, please:

 

Run-Time SOA: I get the notion of a reference 
architecture as shown in Figure 1 on p.3. Having said that, I would expect that 
any run-time (concrete) architecture that is depicted as being based on the 
reference architecture is merely for exemplary purposes, yet the run-time 
architecture is simply presented without any indication of its purpose. Since 
the run-time architecture is greatly concrete, is it intended that products be 
based on it? Is it intended for exemplary purposes? Other?

 

SOA Information Model: Though this is called a "SOA" 
information model, this document looks more to me like a 
"Process Information Model" that is actually independent of SOA (that is, I did 
not see anything that restricted it to SOA). In 
fact, in order to call something a "SOA" information model, I would assert that 
there are several other areas that would need to be incorporated beyond 
processes - e.g. security, policy, QoS, etc. Even considering the process 
perspective, there is nothing that I see in this information model that speaks 
distinctly to a service-oriented paradigm - in fact, figure 1 (p.24) does not 
even have a "Service" concept. What is the intended use of this document for 
ebSOA?

 

Thanks,

Joe

  Collaboration Semantics

  

  

  
Hello 
  ebSOA TC,

  
 

  
Semantion is pleased to announce the completion of its FERA-based SOA 
  contribution to ebSOA TC. 

  
 

  
The SOA Collaboration Semantics document 
  

  
 

  
http://www.semantion.com/specs/soa/SOA_CS_V0.1.doc

  
 

  
contains FERA-based SOA semantics specification that together with two 
  previously submitted documents, Run-time SOA and SOA Information 
  Model, represent Semantion's SOA specification framework.

  
 

  
The new 
  releases of the Run-time SOA document and the SOA Information 
  Model  document are available at

  
 

  
http://www.semantion.com/specs/soa/SOA_IM_V0.2.doc

  
 

  
http://www.semantion.com/specs/soa/Run-time_SOA_V0.2.doc

  
 

  
These documents should be reviewed in the following 
  order:

  
 

  
- Run-time SOA

  
- SOA Information Model

  
- SOA Collaboration Semantics

  
 

  
Please let me know if you have any questions or need more information 
  regarding the submitted documents.
