Subject: Re: [soa-rm] Proposed resolution for issue 509


I'm afraid this has too much of a DoD sound to it 

:-)

On a client project last year we spent a significant amount of time
defining key terms for SOA (in the absence of an industry reference
model).  Within the DOD space, we eventually settled on the term mission
function (within the DOD lexicon) specifically for this reason and
specifically to reference the operational capability.

+1 for the glossary option even though it states the obvious. If one
person 
had an issue with it, I am sure others will.

The issue reads: "What do you mean by function?"

Function, of course, has a mathematical definition. However, we use the
term
in the RM to refer to an operational capability: something that can
have a
real world effect if it is applied.

Proposed resolution:

Either no change to text on the basis that function is a commonly
understood
term in the industry and we do not believe we are using it differently.

Or, add a glossary entry:

Function: an operational capability that when activated will result in
a
real world effect.
