Subject: Re: [ebsoa] SOA and Shared Semantics
Joe, That's my whole point. The BCM/EPR work does provide a very broad set of usage scenarios. I believe we need to build from a solid foundation. If we just run after isolated aspects - we will lose the opportunity to provide a coherent solution set. That is why I'm focusing on areas that provide such coherence to provide a sensible set of base requirements. DW.
