Re: [wsdm] Thoughts on "transaction" wording for MUWS

[John DeCarlo <jdecarlo@mitre.org>]

Andrea,

I will include what you have with some thoughts from Jeff Bohren.

Also, I am leaning toward putting in words about "manageable resource" 
instead of just "devices".  Maybe something like "multiple actions 
against multiple devices within a manageable resource", to make it clear 
we are not talking about a manageability interface to a transaction, but 
monitoring and/or controlling transactions from the point of view of one 
manageable resource.

Unless anything else comes in in the next hour or so, my Friday at work 
will end and I will send what I have to Heather and a PDF to the list. 
Then you can read and be prepared for Monday.

Thanks.
