Subject: RE: [soa-rm] Re: Autonomous Services?
Sameer will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that his intent was to include the notion of central metadata within a "Reference Architecture" not the Reference Model. Appendix B is the place where example use cases would be defined. I suspect that Sameer might be willing to submit an example use case.

Sameer - - Let me practice being Matt <g>: The term " 'central' metadata" presumes a specific implementation strategy and should not be in the RM. Perhaps "metadata associated with the service should be available in the environment." Now in my example SOA for Appendix B, I'll probably show a UDDI services directory, or maybe a combo registry/repository that can in fact store all the description metadata.

My feeling is that some of what you are alluding to might be covered by UDDI, however as is happening in an instance of SOA deployment that I am involved in - UDDI by itself is not going to be sufficient to express all the metadata that is needed for a client to successfully and contextually interpret all that a Web Service does. My attempted solution is to capture this additional metadata by leveraging central metadata services of my enterprise. I guess what I am saying is that the concept of "central metadata" might be a valid candidate as a component of the Reference Architecture we are considering. Since I was unable to participate in the F2F, (due to some last minute commitments that I got called into), if this topic was discussed, please accept my apologies for bringing it up again. Thanks!

Folks - - On my way home from N'awlins Wed night, I had a thought on this discussion. I think we expect services in an SOA to be independent of the kind of shared contextual knowledge we usually presume within a local computing environment. We expect that the requesting service will be able to obtain all the info it needs to use the responding service successfully by processing the responding service's description metadata. I do think this is a core characteristic of SOA services. I'm not suggesting we reinstate the use of the word "autonomous" as a handle for this concept since it demonstrably caused confusion at the f2f. If we need a handle, perhaps "self-sufficient" or "self-documenting" or "introspective" (naaah - forget that one.)

We discussed and the submitter withdrew the submission pending clarification on exactly what is meant by Autonomous nature WRT services. It may be re-submitted and probably will however we do not have consensus on it at present.
