Subject: RE: [soa-rm-ra] New Working Draft 07; Update of Issues List; Update of Minor edits


Rex, Thanks a lot for explanations and I do agree with you about the difference between the 'thing' and its description.

Commenting on Ken's modification proposal, I can say that

1) Figure 16 is OK with me (as I said already) due to the focus on description.
2) Unfortunately, Figures 17 and 18 require further modifications, IMO. Particularly,

a) relationship between SI Description and Models is presented differently in F.16 and F17-F18: in one case it is association but in another case it is composition. At least, it has to be the same

b) I am not sure that it makes sense using SI Description in the F17 and F18 because these diagrams address actual objects/entities, not descriptions. And in such case, the relationships of aggregation/composition MUST be replaced by the relationship of contribution [an UML symbol for this is a one-headed arrow] - both Behavior and Information Models contribute into the definition of a Service Interface entity (not of its description anymore)

I think that both Peter and Boris would agree with me... :-)

Cheers,
- Michael

Ken, this is better, but I would suggest replacing service interface description with service description, which includes service interface, policies and behavioral model

Michael,

 

 

 

 

 

See attached for revisions to Figures 16 and 17.  Service Interface as related to Description will be changed to Service Interface Description and the <<interface>> stereotype is being removed.  There was a general agreement that these changes were necessary and useful.  All explanatory text emphasizes description of the interface and not the interface itself.

 

 

 

 

 

Please look at things in this context and I think it will address many of your concerns.

 

 

 

 

 

Ken

Folks,

I'd like to comment on Figures 16, 17, 18  - issue 203 (yes, this seems as an obsession of mine but, please, try to understand that I am in difficult situation: I am writing everywhere that service interface is a “path-point” and does not have any behavior, and do not have serious objections from architects, while RAF, which I promote, shows right opposite).
 

 

 

Frankly, it looks to me next to absurd that Figure 18 (Service Functionality) does not even mention neither Behavior nor Information Model (how a service works in this case) while both models are owned/reacheable/included by a dummy service interface in Figure 17.
 

 

 

I can coop with Figure 16 due to a reference to “description” though I am still not 100% happy with it, but Figure 17! It is too much to me. It is Service Description that can/may/should explicitly point to Behavior and Information Model, not an interface: a door into a house can represent neither soft nor hard floor set in the bedroom, IMO.

Cheers,
- Michael

Subject: [soa-rm-ra] New Working Draft 07; Update of Issues List; Update of Minor edits

 

 

 

 

 

Hi,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Three new documents for your attention regarding the SOA-RAF

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Firstly, a new draft – WD07 dated 8 May - this incorporates:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-          all the minor edits (which are considered accepted and are no longer tracked – but see note 3 below);

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-          all the more substantial edits, with sidebar comments indicating the respective Issue number(s) addressed;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-          several new figures;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-          indications (in sidebar comments) of other changes still required – often minor updates of figures to align with text already agreed in the SC.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: We will continue to note issue resolution against the July 2011 Public Review document – but any discussion in the SC from hereon in should use the structures, section numbers and line numbers of this new WD07 – this will ensure that we remain – literally – on the same page in further discussions. Please use the pdf version of WD07 when making further comments in meetings or on the list. (We will load the Word version to Kavi asap).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Secondly, a fully updated Issues List. This has grown over the last months, inevitably, as a working tool for the editors. Ken and I have restructured this and worked through the whole thing on several passes and present what we hope is a simplified view of what is done, what is recommended, and what remains open. Three new columns appear in the spreadsheet:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Column B indicates the status of the respective issue:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-          Green indicates that the issue is closed – this covers many minor edits, typos, alignment of terms etc. Many of these minor edits are no longer tracked in the document (see note 3 below)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-          Yellow indicates our recommendations for issues that should now be closed, either because they are the result of exhaustive consensus, are also minor edits, or are redundant (OBE) – we propose: if no objections are given in the next (week?), that these issues are closed

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-          Red indicates an issues which has been dealt with in our discussions but which still requires some further work – such as updating a figure. We consider the issue to be “dealt with” but we all need just to be sure that the remaining edits are forthcoming

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-          Blue indicates an open issue that requires further discussion and/or a decision from the SC.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Columns O and P have been added to provide further information on that small number of issues that are not closed (red or blue in col B)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For each issue, all details of the original comment, suggested edits, discussion, etc have been kept. A green cell – in column I or further to the right - will indicate the end/resolution of the consideration of that issue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thirdly, we have updated the short table circulated two weeks ago, indicating the list of issues that are closed and no longer tracked within the working document – this provides a “due diligence” check for minor edits.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think we can see the finish line….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All the best – and enjoy. Talk to you on the call later
