RE: [soa-rm] Metadata

I would assert that since our model is abstract, the adjective “machine process-able” is overstepping the bounds and scope of the spec. As soon as we say this we are being too concrete. It is equally feasible that a half automated system will rely on some human to look at *some* aspects of a services metadata such as who the owner is or something to assure them it is secure.

Recommend we log it as an issue and propose the machine process-able part be removed.

Is metadata ="= “machine process-able descriptions”?

In the 09 draft (section 2.2.3), it seems that we are making that assertion.

I think “machine process-able description/information” is a component of it.

Opinion/thought?

(NOTE: This is not a formal issue against _09 draft).

Thanks,
