Hi, As the coordinating editor for Project Liberty (an identity management web services framework), two terms have appeared in our specifications, and I hear them all the time from member companies - Web Services Provider (WSP) and Web Services Consumer (WSC). I see definitions in [1] for Web Service/Provider and Client, but I'm wondering whether it wouldn't make sense to put WSC and WSP into the Web Services Glossary, if only to point to Client and Provider respectively? We wish to use these terms in the Liberty Glossary, but it seems to me that the basic definitions should "belong to" the Web Services Architecture, and Liberty may then reference them, and perhaps further refine them for a Liberty context.
