Proposed Response for #1

omment from: 

Name:Sean Barker

Title:Scientist

Organization:BAE SYSTEMS

Regarding Specification:Reference
Model for Service Oriented Architecture 1.0

Re Section 3.2.2.1.2 Semantics,
line 457, 458. The claim that "The formal descriptions of terms and the
relationships between them (e.g., an ontology) provides a firm basis for
selecting correct interpretations for elements of information exchanged"
is incomplete, in that for applications that have an effect on the real world,
the formal description must be based on the behaviour of the organizations -
that is, at least some form of process model - and not simply on the
descriptions of the terms themselves. A clarification of what constitutes a
formal description in this context would be helpful.

The
next section 3.2.2.2 of the RM discusses behavior models and the roles these play.  It is
beyond the scope of the RM to expand on the specifics of “formal
description”.

Also please note the section on Service
Description (section 3.3.1) goes into further detail to provide clarification.
