Subject: Re: [soa-rm] Definition of "Service Consumer"

Service Consumer: 1) End-user of a service. 2) An agent which, acting on behalf of its owner, uses a service. 3) An entity which utilizes a service 4) An entity which consumes the product or information produced by a service. Note all of these definitions depend upon the definition of the term "service". Have we agreed on this already? Perhaps we should start there first... -- Greg Matthew MacKenzie wrote: > I think services deserve respect, lets try not to exploit them :-) > > Gregory A.
