Re: profilehierarchy

Thanks for your interest.
  
  I undestood that every service profile can be associated with different  profile hierarchies, but let me consider the following distributed  scenario:
  
  Service A associated with profileheirarchyX, and found on server I;
  Service B associated with profilehierarchyY and found on server II;
  
  Through composition a new Service C is created by combining Services A  and B and the developer associates its profile with a profileHierarchy  Z...
  Does this mean that any reference to profilehierarchies X and Y is lost due to the combination process? 
  If I wanted to know which profile hierarchies are associated to services A and B, what would be the best thing to do?
  
  thanks again
  
  regards

Il Profilo di un servizio puo' appartenere ad una o piu' categorie
definite in una qualche ontologia (Ho usato il termine categorie, ma
alla fine dei conti sono concetti definiti in OWL) . In particolare,
nell'ontologia da te citata, sono state definite diverse tipologie di
servizio per la vendita on/line. (Ma questo credo ti sia chiaro).
Non c'e' collegamento col Service Process, e' quindi solamente il
profilo a definire la categoria. Anche se il profilo referenzia un
processo composito. Resta il fatto che un servizio puo' pubblicare
piu' profili e quindi puo' appartenere a piu'di una categoria in
precedenza definite.

Spero di esserti stato d'aiuto.

Danilo.
