Title: Re: [soa-rm-ra] random question

Is there any service that does not use data?

Not types of service providers; service providers that provide certain types of services (e.g. data service provider = service provider of data services).

Joe, 

But I'm not sure "types" of service providers is relevant.  I look at a service description, decide if the real world effects are what I want (and whether the rest of the execution context stuff can be aligned), and then I proceed with the interaction.  If I ask for information, I don't know (unless I have a business reason for this to be part of my rationale for which service to use) if it is "data" from a database, results from a simulation, or Mechanical Turk.

I think it's a question of  service providers, but more specifically of what *types* of services. So there  can be data service providers, perhaps process service providers (e.g.  BPEL-based processes), and perhaps even application service providers in a  different sense than the traditional ASP (perhaps service-based  applications).

Michael,

 

 

My question is whether there are providers in the SOA sense for something  other than services.  For example, one could say there are data providers  but wouldn't they have their data sources accessed using services?  Does  that apply to all providing stakeholders?

Aren't users of the services stakeholders?

 

 

Aren't manufacturers of equipment  stakeholders?

 

 

Is the government that collects a tax or regulates  a stakeholder?

 

 

Aren't the "victims" we discussed at the F2F  stakeholders as well?

Can we have stakeholders who are providers or  maintainers of something other than services?  Or, do we assume by the nature  of SOA that if you provide something other than a service, that something  is a capability that must have a service access, so you always end up a  service provider?
