Subject: Re: Suggested Modification For Figure 24 Service Description
My concern would be that a SOA service is defined as access to one or more capabilities, and having capability in the service description model in a different context will likely be confusing. However, would it be useful to change Functions to Business Functions? While this doesn't really say anything different, i.e. your business is whatever you are interested in doing, it would be consistent with an emphasis on the "business" use of SOA.
