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


Concur with the proposed definition, and add: We may also want to define
"Functionality" in the glossary, as it is one of our concepts (Service
Functionality). Perhaps it is something along the lines of the sum total
(or aggregation) of all of the functions of a service (or that a service
can offer/provide).

I'd go for the glossary option in order to disambiguate

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.
