RE: [soa-rm] [issue:structure] draft 07, sect 2, line 201, Figure2-1

[<McGregor.Wesley@tbs-sct.gc.ca>]

A significant number of other architectural models have similar diagrams. What this one is missing is the proper relationship indications and contextualizing content. 

I think it is a good starting point.

Figure 2-1 SOA Architectural Model

<suggested>
Remove the figure.

Sorry, but this figure is rather vacuous. All we see are a bunch of
rectangles stacked together with no obvious relationship between them.
Some of the rectangles have an "is-a" relationship to their neighbor,
while others have a "describes" relationship and some I cannot even
decipher what the relationship should be.

I understand that people feel UML is too technical for this document,
however, diagrams like this detract from the document's readibility.
Try using a concept map if you really want to place a diagram at this
point.
