RE: Harvesting choreography diagram

Hugo,

This looks good. The only part I think is missing is the interface level
view, i.e. the relationship among the various operations within the same
interface. For example, in the Travel Agent Service there should be an arrow
(of different type than the arrows already there) going from "Reception of
confirmation with credit card details" to "Request of credit card
confirmation", another arrow from "Request of credit card confirmation" to
"Reception of payment confirmation", etc.  (This type of relationships is
actually what most of WSCI is all about, if we leave out the Global Model).

In this particular example all the operations within the same interface are
already listed in their correct order of execution, so the addition of those
arrows is somewhat redundant, but from a conceptual point of view it's an
important addition.

I have made a similar diagram of step 3[1] of our travel agent usage
scenario (attached).
