The
phrasing Chris selected prompted something for me…let me see if I can put
words to it. After the discussions yesterday, I spent some time last
night reading linguistic research to try and better understand what about
the relationship between noun and verb forms of ‘service’ are sticking
points for me. As I suspected; it has to with the implications about
the relationships between these lexical forms. What was most
interesting was to realize the variety of aspects to be considered.
However, I think that I found what makes me want to tread careful and
clearly understand and distinguish between service as a noun and service as
a verb.
In
addition, the phrasing you selected suggested that there are two active
portions of the ‘service scenario’:
1)
That
‘of bringing a
desired capability to bear’
2)
That
of the capability itself
I’m
looking right now at the first active portion only. I think we already
recognize the distinction between the two in wd-10. But this served as
a reminder to me.
Essentially, when
using the nominalized form of an active verb like ‘to serve’ in a sentence;
an abstract noun performs most of the work. Nominalization can also
permit the elision of the subject and object of a verb. Therefore, we can
write about a process or action and yet not mention who is involved.
This is part of the sticking point for me when it comes to a reference model
in which we’re trying to unambiguously define key concepts – because we’re
using terminology that permits us to unintentionally cloud the concepts when
we are seeking clarity.
Harrumph. To
me this still wasn’t completely satisfying.
So I
dug a bit further and discovered that there are many ‘types’ of
nominalizations, including ‘episodic nominalizations.’ An
episodic nominalization takes an active process and conceives it as a
noun. So far so good, for service as both noun and verb.
However, here’s where I found some interesting information about the
intuition of language that is captured by these different forms.
Although quite similar, these two forms represent a different semantics
which conceptually develop. In an episodic nominalization, the
conception is no longer viewed as a process but rather as a single episode
(i.e. only as the sum rather than the sum of its parts). Yes this
starts to get into cognitive psychology and linguistics ( and I apologize to
those who just want to know what does the word service mean within the
context of SOA but bear with me).
Where
I got to is that yes, we may actually be talking about the same thing but
from different angles. What I’m recognizing is that those angles come
with specific inferences and assumptions that stem from language itself that
we may not be explicitly aware of and which set up
confusion.
So
what am I saying? That the text in the draft works well to recognize that
the term service(noun) unifies several related concepts – and we do it
justice to recognize those interrelated concepts. Using the
terminology above, they’re conceptualized into a single episode. If we
are clear about that, then I’ll accept that a service can be intended as
either.
(Now
you all know how I spent my evening)

That

called a service, that performs the action of bringing a desired capability

SOA.

Does that mean that
all the elements in the concept map are only concepts - none of them
translate into objects or actions (or any other concrete
thing)?
[JMC] They
translate into concrete things when an implementation is created that
conforms to the reference model (or an existing implementation is mapped to
it).
I thought one of
the purposes of a RM was to identify and give a language to the basic
elements of the thing being modeled. I.e., and SOA will have all the
elements that are identified in the RM.
[JMC] A SOA
*implementation* may have concrete elements that map to the abstract
elements (concepts) that are identified in the RM.
I think Ken's
description is still the best one, that "a service is a means to bring
a capability to bear in an SOA context". In this case, it is
still a noun (or a thing) (or at least I think so, my wife is the English
major - not me)
[JMC] It is a noun,
as well as an action (alluding to my prior recent post on this). So in
comparison, a political compaign (sorry, I live in Washington DC;) can be thought of as a means to
potentially bring a candidate into elected political office (using very
loose wording here), while "to campaign" is the action that is associated
with that noun. If one had a reference model for campaigns, it would contain
concepts such as "candidate", "policitical party", "regions" (perhaps the
region(s) of the country that their campaign would cover - a gubernatorial
campaign would cover one state, a presidential campaign all states), etc. In
order to campaign (the action), one would leverage the campaign reference
model as a means to guide them in their action of
campaigning.

Rebekah,
what about the
potential of an act?
[->]
The potential of service is an offer.
I have a problem
with the following
<Snip>
The actual
invocation and performance of the capability is the service; i.e. the
action.
</Snip>
if I understand
what you are saying here, it would imply that a service is not a service
until it is actually performing an action. During the time that it is
"waiting" to perform an action it is not a service, nor is it after it has
completed the action it was created to do.
[->]
yes, you are right. That is exactly what I’m implying. The
service isn’t performing the action, the implementation of the action
is. The service is the performance.
In Duane's diagram,
the service exists independent of the interaction. However, the
interaction is what causes the real-world effect.
I'm not sure I buy
the other statement that a service is an act as opposed to an object.
Isn't it an object (in that it exists) who's purpose is to perform an
act?
[->]
So I’ll ask a question in return. Let’s assume the statement is
true. If a service exists as an object that is independent of the
capability who’s purpose it is to perform; what differentiates the service
from the capability?
For that
matter, is the capability what is actually providing the "action" and the
service is the means to access that action?
[->]
From this perspective, what differentiates the service from the service
access point?
[->]
My point is that the conceptualization of service as an object doesn’t
provide resolution to these questions. It is for this reason that I
started examining service as a verb rather than a noun. From that
perspective, the concepts and the relationships between them
clarified.

Uh-oh. We
seem to be starting to head back to the service as an object as opposed to
an act. I still do not believe that a service is an ‘object.’
In fact, I believe that assumption has caused much of the
difficulty in figuring out what a service actually is.
What is invoked is
a capability, consistent with the execution context and so to produce real
world effects. The actual invocation and performance of the capability
is the service; i.e. the action. Hence I maintain that visibility,
interaction and effect are the interrelated concepts often (yet confusingly)
referred to with a shorthand nomenclature of ‘service.’
As far as roles go,
the very essence of the word service is the recognition that <someone>
does <something> for <someone else>. I would agree that
any other specification of this generalization (uh…isn’t that an ontology)
belongs in something other than the RM.

If I invoke a

as part of a more complex set of instructions), I am still the service
consumer.
[->] Agreed.
I could glibly say
that if I "provide" a service, I'm a service provider, but I fear things are
not that simple. Is the entity that created the service its provider, or the
one who maintains it, or the one who hosts it, or the one who pays for it,
or ...?
[->] I see this
being a question of ‘what are the roles’ versus ‘who plays the
roles’. At first pass, it seems right that we recognize the
roles @ the RM level and leave the details of determining the best way to

I think it is easy

the established execution context), and must produce a real world effect

Many Bus

including the invocation of other services to perform that enrichment (e.g
stock quote returns current price, enrichment provides the last ten days
closing price). They may also do calculations that result in the
non-connection or “empty” return from the service (e.g. if you call for
“last five minutes trades” after the market has closed… its an empty set).
So while I agree that the service consumer is key it’s sometimes hard
to identify the true consumer and the true producer of a service within a

Since in the case

The broker service

I think we need to
add some words to the RM to capture this discussion. We cover part of
this in the beginning of Section 3.2.1 but need to be more specific that:
- a service
consumer can be a human or a software agent;
- a service
consumer can invoke any number of services (including a single service in
isolation) and can chain the output of some services to act as the input of
others;
- from the
perspective of a given service, the occurrence of such chaining would not be
visible;
- the service
consumer can be implementing a business process;
- the specific of a
business process do not change the basic SOA concepts as described in the
RM; however, the specific architecture that one designs and implements will
reflect the business process and make use of specific service instances that
corresponds to the real world effects that the business process hopes to
realize.
Now that said, and
in full appreciation that we agreed earlier that mechanisms which combine
services (e.g. choreography, orchestration) are out of scope, is it
sufficient for words, such as those suggested above, to be included
somewhere within the current discussion or do we need to pull it out into a
subsection on its own? As an example of the former, we tried to deal
with loose-coupling and coarse-grained with words at the end of Section 2.1.

I slightly disagree
with your assertions, probably based on semantics. For a service to
"participate" in a process, it would have to be aware of the process (which
many will not be). A better way to depict this may be to state
"services may be aggregated and used by processes" and "processes may be
represented/exposed as services". There are really no limits to the
number of layers that can be present. Attached is a UML CVD depicting
such.
A key rationale of
why process is not part of SOA is that services cannot see process.
They are not aware of whether they are being called as part of a process vs.
as an individual service. If the "s" part of SOA cannot see or touch
that, it cannot be part of the RM.
The chicken and egg
discussion you bring forward is a requirement for those building services to
strongly consider the business process when designing their service
infrastructure. Accordingly, it is not really part of the RM for SOA
yet I agree that it is a very important consideration.
For your messages

Duane,
Thanks for the
response. Yes I would like to see the PPT. I hope you do not mind if I add
few more thoughts related to services and business processes:
Services
participate in a business process to add some value to it. They can be
governed and evaluated using business process metrics. One service can
participate in many business processes and provide value to each of them
according to the context within that process. As far as SOA is concerned it
is as important to know what the service does, how it can be discovered,
contacted, invoked, executed, etc. as it is to be able to use it within the
process context, measure it and assess its value from the business process
requirements point of view. SOA needs to avoid typical new technology
chicken and egg syndrome, e.g. companies not producing services because
there are no service friendly process definitions to use them and not having
SOA friendly process definitions because there are no services to use.
Services do not have to know if they will be involved in the process
upfront, they will be contacted on demand according to the process script
that is in effect, and they will be contacted, checked if available, passed
the arguments, collected the response and according to their procedure left
alone to wait for another call. The process execution engine however needs
to invoke the service according to both service specific information and the
process specific information.
Having just the
service specific information in a model covers only one part of the picture
and I think it is fine as long as that model is a pure service model.
However I find it difficult to understand that the SOA RM TC model is a SOA
reference model when it does not include other concepts of SOA.
Unfortunately it seems that we cannot get to the point where we could agree
on a minimal set of supported SOA concepts by a model to be the SOA RM. We do not have to and I do
not want to argue with you or anybody else in SOA RM TC. I am just trying to
see how our works can fit together in a most efficient way. We obviously
need more time to better understand each others thoughts and ideas and I
strongly believe that a constructive respectable discussion is helpful for
everybody.
By the way, do you
know what I am supposed to do to get my messages to the SOA RM list. In
spite of that I am the SOA RM TC observer I get a faliure notice whenever I
send a note to the SOA RM.

Goran:
The service layer
enables the process layer over top of it, however during runtime, services
do not know if they are part of a process or being called individually (it
would generally be a bad idea to try to maintain the overall state of a
process within each service, although it could be done). For maximum
repurposing of services, it would be better to have the service as a simple
slave to the processes that may use it.
Accordingly, we
made a decision that BPM, Orchestration, choreography is not a core part of
the RM for SOA. We generally seem to agree that many SOA
implementations will include a layer of BPM over top. We are only
addressing the SOA model, not the model for the underlying or overarching
layers.
I have a PPT that
explains this in more detail if you are interested.

I think that SOA RM
has done good job documenting well-known service related concepts and
defining some new ones.
I do not see other
details besides service and service-related concept definitions in the
current SOA RM committee draft right now. I look forward to seeing the
completion of the model you are working on with the bottom-up approach.
Business, business
processes and collaboration aspects of business are important to address in
the model what is not the case with the current content of the SOA RM
committee draft. By a business process I mean a generic business process
entity which has common components (activities, decisions, etc) and
relationships between them that can be used to model a business process in
any environment regardless of what business we support and technology we
use. I agree with Sally that a link between business processes and services
should be one of key requirements any SOA reference model should try to
meet.
I am not sure what
SOA with services brings to business when the link between the business
processes and services and overall business process semantics in the SOA
context are not considered to be important aspects in a SOA-based reference
model.

"Componentization"
Frank
This is in response
to your request on last week?s conference call, if anyone has comments speak
now. I also think that the recent comments on clarifying sections are a
reflection of my issues with the specification.
I agree with the
majority of points made/described in ver 10. My issues are with what is not
in this draft. Based on Fig 1 the Refe! rence Model is guided by Reference
Architectures, Concrete Architectures, Profile & Related Models. They in
turn account for requirements, motivation & goals. This is creating a
Reference Model from the bottom up. I believe a Reference Model should
reflect a top down approach.
The Reference Model
needs to reflect the environment, the strategy and the priorities of the
business/mission/collaboration. This will impact the construction of
services. A service is a business task or activity that is realized through
technology. The draft does a good job of describing how that realization
happens. But it doesn?t provide a sufficient link between processes and
services. The draft makes the point that the central focus of! SOA is the
task of business function?getting something done. A business process is made
up of tasks and activities to achieve a goal (getting something done). The
concept of creating the service from the tasks and activities in a process
is important. For example, where on the continuum of fine grained to coarse
grained should a particular service be; this will affect interaction,
reusability. The relationship between processes and services needs to be in
the Reference Model.
While I saw that
there is a note saying the glossary is still in flux, since one of the
objective of the Reference Model is a vocabulary, having less in the
glossary might be a better option. Is semantic integration a guiding
principle of SOA?
With respect to
conformance there needs to be business results. That is an SOA should
provide demonstrable mission accomplishments, e.g. ROI, match a competitors
distribution channel. SOA is not a technology. Conformance should provide
operational accomplishments, these should be measurable.
