Re: [soa-rm] explaination of RM to RA etc.

[Duane Nickull <dnickull@adobe.com>]

The arrow indicates that the architectural work is guided by the thing 
it points at (RM).  This is a  bit confusing but in alignment with UML 
class via diagram conventions.  Not always intuitive at first glance.

A -> B

means A sees B but B is not aware of A

If it is a labelled binary relationship, UML convention indicates that A 
is affected in [name of relation] by B.

Perhaps "guided by" may be more intuitive but the current is correct.
