Subject: FW: Figures 13/14 (now figs 16 and 17)
My diagrams for the service description diagrams…. From: Peter F Brown
Michael, I had one insight this morning. I think we can break the deadlock with the following changes and draft suitable accompanying text. I think this keeps in line
with Rex’s requirement that we don’t mess around with the core elements of the figures Firstly, in (new) fig 16, I propose the following changes: -
For accuracy:
o
In “Service Description” class, replace <<artefact>> with <<work product>> or leave blank;
o
Change “Service Interface” class to “Interface Model” -
For clarity:
o
Change other class names to simply read “Reachability” (which is how it is named already in fig 28) and “Functionality”
o
Drop sub-sub-classes (Action Model, Process Model, Semantics and Structure) from
this diagram – they are fully (and more accurately) explained in the next diagram – and add to fig 17, the notes on Action Model and Process Model, that would be dropped from fig 16;
o
Drop sub-classes from Service Reachability and Service Functionality classes –the detailed Reachability diagram is in any case referenced in section
4.2.2.3 and fig 28. Section 4.1.1.3.3 already has detailed Functionality diagram -
For completeness, maybe show “<<work product>> Service Description” with a “realizes” arrow to a new element, “<<interface>> Service” (or “<<interface>>
Service Interface” if people are uncomfortable with the former) Secondly, further revise the accompanying text to underline: -
That “Service Description” as a term actually masks two intents – the actual description and the ‘work product’ that ensures that all ‘description’
is available, whether the source be in text files, database tables, queries, etc; -
That the Interface Model (describing the service interface) is not the same as the interface itself. I attach a sketch and text of how this would look, with other figures updated accordingly… In .doc with all edits, and as a pdf, stripped of track changes and
comments, to show how it might look… Hope this helps, Peter From: Mike Poulin
