Title: Service & Capability

Hi all,

OK, just one last question for today.

In 4.3.2, Services perform Actions that cause Real World Effects.
In 3.3.1, Services have Capabilities that achieve Real World Effects.

It would seem that there Actions and Capabilities have some close conceptual tie, here. Are Capabilities defined in terms of the Action(s) they provide? Or, ...?
