In the discussion with the architecture group today, there seemed to be confusion between a service and the resource is acts on. The architecture group defines a Web service to have something that has a URI, but that URI is not the same as the resource that the Web service acts on. For example, a bank might have a personal banking Web service. The account Web service acts on the bank. We can build a URI from the QName of the personal banking Web service, e.g. http://xml.fredsbank.com#service(PersonalBanking). The bank itself might have the URI http://fredsbank.com. We agreed to add an optional @resource attribute to <service>. I suggest it would be clearer to rename that attribute to @targetResource to make it clear that the service acts on that resource as opposed to it being the URI of the Web service. Arthur Ryman
