RE: [soa-rm] Metadata

[Ken Laskey <klaskey@mitre.org>]

Duane,

This is also somewhat subtle.  Is the (desired or realizable)
machine processibility of the metadata a fundamental concept or is it a
nice to have option for the implementer?  The former belongs in the
RM, the latter does not.

Do log it but also continue to discuss.

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,
