Meta model for Patterns Uploaded

[Duane Nickull <dnickull@adobe.com>]

All:

I was extremely unsatisfied with my previous attempts at section 3.0 of 
the document.  I re-read some books on the subject then derived a new 
meta model for our Patterns.

The new metamodel for patterns is actually not new - it is an 
aggregation of several industry standard practices for architectural 
patterns.  The new document is an adoption and aggregation of several 
components that are specific to our use within our document.

The document 3.0-SOA_Archtiectural_Patterns.pdf is now uploaded to our 
TC private pages.  IMHO - encourage everyone to read it.  It is actually 
not too painful ;-)

It describes what a pattern is and how we break a pattern down into a 
syntax including some mandatory parts.  It also works in the concept of 
a Story as opposed to an "example" used by many others.  This is a good 
touch point to speak to business users.  Another part entitled "Known 
uses" also let us tie in existing standards for certain components. 
 This is a powerful tool to promote reconciliation of ebXML and WS stacks.

An actual example case will be also posted soon to provide further 
examples.  These are first edits.
