Re: [soa-rm] My stab at an SOA-RM concept map
Not sure about the direction of some of these arrows.

Assuming that

A ---part of--> B

means A is a part of B, then I think

Data Model ---part of--> Semantics

reflect my pov.

Continuing, this....

Policy ---part of--> semantics

Semantics ---defined-by--> Ax. x ---part of--->Semantics

Actually, I am not that part-of is the correct predicate. View-of  
seems closer to the truth.

For example, what is the data model? The question is non-trivial  
because there is a close synergy between the data model and the  
process model. And a part-of relationship suggests separable components.
