Re: [soa-rm-ra] participants, agents and actors

Frank,

 

Couple of quick questions:

 

1. Can you please provide the natural language definition of Actor?

 

2. Are the current definitions of Stakeholder and Participant and Agent to your satisfaction, given this new entity of Actor and the associated visual model?  How about Service Consumer, Mediator, and Provider?

 

3. You show multiple inheritance from Stakeholder and Actor to Participant.  Is this what you meant to model?  Maybe it will be a little clearer when you provide the formal definition of Actor.

 

Cheers...
