RE: [soa-rm] Groups - Rough notes taken during the last ebSOA meeting. (ebSOA-Elements.pdf) uploaded

Just catching up on email and hopefully this has not already been addressed.

I think that before we "define the relevant objects and their interactions 
or possible states" we need to define what the system does that we consider 
of sufficient value that we are going through the effort of building the 
rm.  Otherwise, we are merely documenting objects that others have defined 
or will define possibly conflicting objects without a common idea of why we 
care about an SOA at all.  Given the press is full of such descriptions, 
our job would already be done. :-)
