Subject: [Fwd: Re: [soa-rm-ra] Term for physical realization of an abstraction]
Hi Eveyone, I neglected to copy the list with this reply. Cheers, Rex -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [soa-rm-ra] Term for physical realization of an abstraction Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2010 06:42:10 -0700 From: Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com> Reply-To: rexb@starbourne.com Organization: Starbourne Communications Design To: phestand@mitre.org References: <20100325190449.20741.qmail@eos.oasis-open.org> Thanks Dan, I was out of pocket yesterday. I replied to Franks first pass at a simplified Critical Success Factors (CSF) diagram, saying I thought it was much better. In that diagram "Action" replaced "Real World Effect" and "Social Effect" and while that also is not an "ility" it captures most of what I think we need to reference with that term. The only problem problem we could have with it is that it is a formally defined term: Action: "Action is the application of intent by an actor to achieve a real world effect." This would seem to require mention of how Action applies to "Social Effects" as well as RWEs, but I don't think that's much of a stretch, and it fits with both Sections 3 and 4. "Trust " likewise replaces "Governabiity" and "Manageablity," and it is also a formally defined term, so this actually moves the CSF analysis into a more precise relationship with the specification. If Frank had kept the "ility" analysis I would have eventually suggested something like what he actually did. I will be interested to hear what your think of Sections 3 and 4.

If I've understood the conversation correctly, two possibilities that occur to me are "realizability" and "reification." The latter is not in "ility" form but "reificability" is not a real word so I hesitate to make that suggestion. My preference is "reification" because "realizability" suggests a possibility, not an actuality. > > My 2p worth... > > Dan -- Rex Brooks President, CEO Starbourne Communications Design GeoAddress: 1361-A Addison Berkeley, CA 94702 Tel: 510-898-0670 -- Rex Brooks President, CEO Starbourne Communications Design GeoAddress: 1361-A Addison Berkeley, CA 94702 Tel: 510-898-0670
