"What I've noticed on this TC so far is that we struggle with semantics in a way that's similar to what first-time SOA implementers face.  We are looking for standard definitions, e.g., give me one standard definition of a service, one standard definition for SOA, etc., so I can document my patterns in a consistent manner.  I see organizations adopting SOA who are trying to solve these semantic problems as well:  one definition for order, one for customer, etc.  Short-term, we in the Blueprints TC have agreed to look to SOA-RM for standard definitions, and I see that as a welcome development.  Patterns and semantics should enjoy a separation of concerns."
