No, it is shared between the requester and the calculator/service.  If the requester has internal processes that increments a counter every time the calculator returns a result, this would be a private result.

But this is the private result, i.e. there is not RWE.

Calculator does processing and returns the result of the processing.

Ken,

This is going to my comments earlier. If you ask a guy on the street, that the terms that he thinks in (Sorry Michael, has nothing to do with WS).

You red inlining is exactly a kind of explanation that is required + we need to describe what this change buys to system designer.

As for the calculator example, I can’t agree (sound Michael like). There is no screen – calculator is a service – it gets a message and returns a message back

Is there any major damage by my using red wording inline below?

 

As for importance of RWE, it is what someone wants and why they use service.  The RWE of a calculator is the result it displays.

Let’s try differently:

·         In accepted terms a service has an interface(s) – Service interface

·         Service interface has method(s) – Service methods.  Service interface defines message exchange with service

·         A service method (not a service) can be invoked.  Message to service Interface triggers service action through corresponding private actions

·         Service method provides an execution result.  Triggering a service action lead to results.

·         An execution result can either change a service state or return an error  Public  Results are changes in states or a return of information

·         A change in a service state may (or not) produce RWE  Changes to public states produce RWE

So far this is excepted set of thing that most of practitioners will relate to

Now here is a list of questions:

·         How is service action relates to the above? is it a service method invocation?

·         Why do we care so much about RWE? A calculator is a useful service with no RWE

Let’s try it this way:  a service action (by which I mean an action from the Action Model) results in the change of public and possibly private states.  The change in public states is RWE, the change in private states is unknown to the SOA ecosystem unless these become public at a later time.

Ken,

 

I gave this example as an evidence of inconsistency and brocken/forgotten dependency between definitions.

 

I have to be more accurate: "then we have said that that result is outside the scope of our consideration" is not the same as "we just said it is not what we are considering under RWE". The latter I is true if RWE is public only BUT the former may be understood as that private service result is out of the scope of RAF! This I cannot agree with because BOTH types of result belong to the SOA ecosystem.

 

Service Action produces private (always) and public (sometimes) results and only the public one is RWE. If you agree with this statement, than the purpose of the service is to produce Result whether public or private, or both.

Michael,

 

I agree with most of your points, except the final one on RWE.  Someone may use a service to satisfy some private need but if the result is only known privately, then we have said that that result is outside the scope of our consideration.  We didn’t say the private result didn’t occur, we just said it is not what we are considering under RWE.

Before going through details and definitions, I think we have to agree on the a few principles.

 

Since RAF is about SOA ecosystem and we agreed that this one includes both business and technology then:

 

1) we cannot operate with definitions from RM with no changes because RM did not considered ecosystem. However, the changes of RM definitions should not deny the original definitions but may modify/extend them for the new context - ecosystem

 

2) all definitions we use have to be either meaningful/"interepretable" in both Business and Technology or we have explicitly identify the scope of the definition and justify that it does not work in the entire ecosystem ( in this case we will never confuse SOA-based system with 'just'/technical system

 

3) we have to draw a relationship/dependency lines (like in Value Networks) between our definitions to see consistency and influence between them

This better be not in a table format but in a map format. For example, in one place we say that service purpose is to provide a RWE; in another place we say that RWE is only shared/pubic thing; this leads to the conclusion that the purpose of service is to provide only shared/pubic thing, which is incorrect.

 

 

If we can agree on these principles and approach, we can eliminate a lot of unnecessary discussions 

 

- Michael

As promised, attached is a comparison of the terms defined in the 28 July 2010 draft alongside the definitions used in the latest draft (in Excel and .ods formats)

As you will see, there are precious few instances of where the definitions match exactly, although in many cases it was more a case of cleaning up the wording (particularly to conform with standards for definitions, eg ISO 1087) than actually changing the definition.

Peter
