RE: granularity/definition of a "service"

I have a hope there'll be some extent of standardisation of these concepts in
future, as what ISO did on 'software processes'. Maybe OWL-S people need more
interactions with BPEL people as well as PSM people. Otherwise, it will mislead
more beginners as what happened through WSCL's migration to WSCDL.

Cheers

Hi,

Its interesting how some times certain terms are taken for granted as having
the same semantics. Most probably due to the fact that they are continuously
being used interchangeably because different areas of research or
technologies intermingle together.
Take for example: service and process, process and workflow or workflow and
plan.
Could be an interesting and valuable thing to make distinctions between
these terms but also mention the commonalities between them.
