RE: [soa-rm-editors] reminder: deadline is upon us...

Attached is what I have so far for section 3 - conformance guidelines.  

I feel like it is pretty lite, and I really only used what was in section 2
of the document to determine what should go in here.

I assumed that conformance guidelines are really a short list of essential
shall statements identifying what every architecture must have in order to
be conformant, wherease section 2 is a more thourough explanation of what
those items are.

Question: I didn't see anything in the semantics section of the document
(section 2.3) that indicated that it was an essention element as such for an
SOA.  There was some text saying semantics of a service may be documented,
but the language seems to imply that it is not essential.

Also, after writing this short (but incredibly concise ; ) section, I still
think that we have identified necessary items, but not sure we have all of
the essential items.  In particular, we don't deal with service granularity
(i.e., a service shall be limited in scope to provide a specific function,
but it will not provide the process flow - with the exception of an
orchestration service), and we don't deal with the idea of a standard
mechanism for binding to a service (i.e., the idea that service providers
"plug into" some sort of virtual backplane.

This email may really be better sent to the whole TC - but I thought I would
forward to the editors first to see if I missed anything obvious.


Matt - I made the deadline with tons of time to spare!!!
