RE: [soa-rm-ra] Discussion of Ontology

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi Guys,

If we view the Execution Context as being comprised of the three 
phases that Dave's diagram embodies, but has not yet developed to the 
point that those phases have been clearly named and defined;
Service Preparation [Capability, ServiceDescriptions, Service];
Service Engagement [which includes EngagementDecision and TriggerEvent]; and,
Service Performance [Interaction, RWE-Cause(ServiceAction)-Effect].

I think Activity and Action need to be separated out  since they 
occur throughout and need to be defined at a higher level of 
abstraction than this operational architecture ontology view. I think 
Capability* here needs to be understood as the 
lower-level-of-abstraction operational view below the RM-level view 
of Capabilities.

Cheers,
Rex
