Re: [soa-rm-ra] Updated Visual Model for Service Description

[Ken Laskey <klaskey@mitre.org>]

Good first pass.  Yes, we have always talked about the service description as an artifact, so this makes sense.

I still need to sort out the writing to make sure all the salient points end up some place.  The diagram will guide the writing and will itself evolve as the writing tightens up.

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...
