Subject: Re: [soa-rm-ra] reaching closure on Action
So the singular Action is what is described in the Action Model but the use of that Action is a Joint Action because it requires both someone whose intent it is to have the RWE occur and the service to initiate whatever activity is necessary to make the RWE occur. �That I can buy.

I said Joint Action, not Communicative Action.� Remember the former was defined as "the application of intent by two or more participants (or agents) in order to realize a Real World Effect."� So clearly, there is relevance to RWE.

I'm less enamored with the term Communicative Action and I think is causing us heartburn.� I can see how a consumer's request to initiate a permissible service action would be embodied in the message that gets communicated via interaction (or communication or message exchange or whatever we call it).� It's the word "action" appended to "communication" that seems to be giving us some pain.

Cheers!
