Hi

I've read some threads here about discussions on semantics (e.g. wsdl vs.
service semantics). But there is still one thing I have not understood.
Where does the semantics of a process individual come from?

In the BravoAir example there are processes like "BookFlight" or "Login". So
the system knows these are processes but it still doesn't know what
"bookFlight" or "Login" means. Isn't this a problem? Shouldn't be
"FlightBooking" and "LogingIn" also be concepts rather than individuals?

I think so because "bookFlight" is more or less only a label to the process
there is know knowledge what the process does. So if a process returns a
list of flight it could be either the list of available flights or the list
of crashed flights... The system can't distinguish...

Could please somebody explain if/why I am wrong?

Thanks in advance!
Gerhard
