Re: [soa-rm] Good Recent SOA Piece:"Managing an XML Data Model In Your SOA - Best Practices"

[Duane Nickull <dnickull@adobe.com>]

Joseph:

This is the data model we agreed is a component of the SOA RM (as the 
name would imply).   It is not newly coined.  It is defined in our draft 
glossary (please see the draft v 06)

"The logical expression of a set of information items associated with 
the consumption of a service.".

Perhaps this is not optimal.  An abstract data model does not need to be 
classified as either canonical, deterministic, logical or any other 
implementation specific nuance IMO.  Logical Expression should maybe be 
replaced with "abstract model" but we also should not use model to 
define model.
