RE: [soa-rm-ra] Management Model section after comments of this week

Changing of policy actually changes contract, so I do not think that you can change/manage policy without managing service contract.

 

As an example of alternatives, the service description may identify which versions of a vocabulary will be recognized, and the specifics of the contract are satisfied when the consumer uses one of the alternatives[U1] . Another alternative could have a consumer identifies one of the policys it is they required to satisfy, e.g., a standard privacy policy on handling personal information, and a provider that is prepared to accept a policy request would indicate acceptance as part of the service contract by continuing with the interaction. [U2] In each of these cases, the actions of the participants are consistent with an implicit service contract without the existence of a formal agreement between the participants.

 

This is still not good:

Vocabulary version typically specified by a service version. In practice a given service version corresponds to a given vocabulary version.

Consumer can’t specify policies, they are specified by provider. Consumer can only agree on policies dictated by provider. Stating otherwise is like coming to the store and setting your own price

 

Manageability of a service allows controlling the service results, shared and sharable RWE against the business goals and objectives of the service. [U3] 

Service results and and RWE are what service does. How can this be managed?

Subject: [soa-rm-ra] Management Model section after comments of this week

 

Folks,

I have incorporated all comments and chnages into attached document. In some places, I have repeated the text (in different font) just to save and show the comments that I responeded insted but didn't change the text.

I am not sure what tactics we prefer now - to go through all left comments together in the meeting or for me to resolve each comment with particular author (in some cases I disagree with the comment, however).

 

Cheers,

- Michael

 [U1]Nice try

 [U2]Not readable. Also A consumer can’t really define a policy, which is not directly supported by provider. So I do not know how valid this example is

MP: the text is modified. This example talks about a consumer’s choice offered by the provider.

 [U3]What exactly does this mean?

MP: this is the mechanism of the performance management
