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

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

I can't speak for Danny, of course, but I don't 
think he meant that we should include something 
like FERA, but that it should fit within the 
range of implementations that fit our RA. That's 
actually not a coincidence, since I will be using 
his work in a presentation to the 5th SOA for 
E-Gov Conference in Spring, probably using gov 
data.

Off-topic: Jeff, do you happen to participate in NASA's Second Life presence?

Cheers,
Rex
