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

I 
agree Duane. I think it comes down to whether or not data is the central focus 
of what the service does. The type of data service mentioned below would 
encompass data management services as well as data access services (i.e. 
providing access to one or more data sources, and possibly integrating the data 
via federated queries). So perhaps a better name would be "data-centric 
services", or "data services" as the umbrella category with subcategories of 
"data management services" and "data access services".

Is there any service that does not use 
data?

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?

Is the government that

Aren't the "victims" we discussed

         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?
