Updated Visual Model for Service Description

["Jeffrey A. Estefan" <jeffrey.a.estefan@jpl.nasa.gov>]

Ken,

 

I've created a component diagram for the Service Description artifact.  This is a candidate visual model to replace the class diagram in the Service Description section that you are updating.  It's not perfect, but it's a pretty good start.  I think it's more appropriate to show the Service Description as an artifact that is made up of (or links to) a number of supporting artifacts that capture the meta level aspects of SOA-based systems, particularly, for the Reference Architecture.

 

Here's a direct link to a PNG copy of the visual model on our Kavi collection at:

I've added a couple of notes to the visual model.  These are intended to be our working notes and ultimately should be removed from the final version of the visual model.

 

Cheers...
