Re: [soa-rm] An SOA-RM policy map

I like the diagram as it brings new dimensions to the problem.  A few
comments:
I believe:
- Policy is an instantiation of (some/all?) the Semantics 
- Policy models Real World Effects
- There are two classes of Participants 
    i) The runtime participant and 
    ii) the participant that defines the service (Defining Agent??).  
- The runtime participant is constrained by the Semantics
- The Defining Agent creates the Semantics.  
- Similarly, the runtime participant desires real world effects (no
change)  
- The Defining Agent uses real world desired effects 

The Defining Agent is probably too concrete for a RM but there is a
duality to the participant that should be made clear.
