Re: [soa-rm-ra] Views and viewpoints
Ken,

I think you've captured the fundamental difference between view and 
viewpoint quite nicely so, yes, this is reasonable.

I would only add that although the relationship between views and viewpoints 
(within a given architectural description) is one-to-one, as noted in the 
1471, a view should correspond to only one viewpoint, otherwise it is 
considered redundant.  A viewpoint, on the other hand, can have more than 
one view.  This is analogous to the class : object relationship in OO 
parlance, but I wouldn't take that analogy too far.

Cheers...
