I tend to agree with Ken that the stakeholders in the
SOA sense will be those things not to distantly
related to the service consumer/provider. If we
continued on with the analogy that the manufacturers
of equipment (like the computers the services run on)
are stakeholders then the conclusion would be
everything in the universe is a stakeholder.
As another example of "Is the government that collects
a tax or regulates a stakeholder?" -
Are a group of policy deciders considered stakeholders
in the SOA and is it legitimate to consider the policy
deciders as policy providers even though they
themselves may never interact with a SOA service? I
would consider SOA Policy deciders as stakeholders
that provide SOA policy and the Policy deciders are
not accessed through a service.
