Re: [stp-dev] Intermediate Hybrid Model Discussion

[David Bosschaert <davidb@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for posting that. This is certainly very useful.

Just a few additional ideas here:
On the meta model, it might be useful to have a Service Contract 
associated with the Service, as all types of Services typically have 
some sort of a contract or other - I know certain editors/technologies 
may not deal with the interface directly, but its normally there 
somehow. This could be WSDL, a Java interface, XML Schema or even a 
worddoc describing how it's used.
Also, it might be good to add a 'metadata' map to the Service where 
arbitrary key-value pairs can be registered. This could be used by 
editors to enhance the metamodel with optional extra metadata that the 
transformations could use to make the migration from one model to 
another smoother / less lossy.

Just my 2c,

David
