Re: [soa-rm-ra] random question
If the RWE is I get an answer to a question I've asked, do I care if it is a "data-centric service" or a "data service" or pure magic?

Too often, we assume bins where the bins have limited short term value and long term confusion and misuse.

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?

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?
