Subject: Re: [soa-rm] [Next Set - #29-#60) RE: [soa-rm] Feedback on Latest Issues List


To respond to the responses....

First of all, as I had earlier indicated, I believed that the  
semantics section required a rewrite. This was not especially in  
response to feedback issues but because it seemed to require a rewrite.

It is true that the new semantics section does not mention explicitly  
context. It does, however, allude to transactions in the process  
model. Other than that, the previous text on context appeared to be  
misleading so it was dropped.

I think that it would not be appropriate for an SOA RM to go into  
much detail about process models; for a similar reason to there not  
being a service consumer. Other than declaring that there is a  
process model, and that that is part of the semantics of SOAs, more  
detail should be left to the BPEL/CAF folk.

In my submission, I proposed that issues 27, 30, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36,  
37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 50, 75, 76, 85, 87,  
89, 92, 93, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 183,  
184, 185, 186, 189, 190 were 'disposed of' or 'moot'. For most of  
these, the correct term would have been 'moot'; i.e., the background  
was sufficiently changed to render the comment meaningless.

There was a real reason that the semantics section was re-written.  
Before, it was uncomfortably close to doing architecture and was not  
properly addressing what semantics meant. I hope that the new section  
is better.

On balance, I think that it may be better to try to schedule a decent  
amount of discussion of this section in the F2F.
