Title: Re: [soa-rm] interesting article - relevant to services and data model aspects of our RM

Thanks Duane. 

 

To no particular individual: 
I also think that we should be thinking not only of the relevance of pieces like 
this to RM, but the relevance of our RM to pieces like this as well. 
Whether there is such a link, and how strong it is, will - I believe - be 
a good test of how leverageable our work will be in the real 
world.

Sorry - I missed this earlier.

The writer was thinking 
along the same pragmatic lines we were.
"To understand and apply the 
principles of SOA, you’d think we would
have to agree first on what we mean 
by a “service"

while he didn't actually suggest a definition, he added a 
though that
clearly separates services from processes. (re: our thread on 
service
being consumed as part of a process, POA et al)
"Services cross 
both process and environment boundaries."

I felt the latter may be of use 
to Vikas " SOA extends the tradition
along two axes: data representation and 
data communication.".  It is
similar to what he wrote in his section for 
Data Model.  exploring this
concept however, it is unclear from the 
article if the author has given
this as much thought as Vikas.  I am 
curious to know if Vikas thinks
this aligns with his 
section.
