Jerry,
As discussed in today's NSI call a clearer naming scheme would be helpful for service definitions, the following is proposed (with thanks to Inder and Tomohiro):
Service Capabilities Definition (SDC) - This is often referred to as the 'service definition', so from Jerry's document: 'The Service Definition (SD) is a machine readable textual document that identifies each attribute of the service and the range of values that attribute will allow'. ... and I think defines a default value?
Service Request Description (SRC) - this is a request for a specific instance of a service. It is created by the Requester Agent when it assigns desired values to each of the attributes described in the SDC. The SRC is sent from the RA to the PA in a Connection Request.
Service Instance Description (SID) - this is a description of an actual service instance, the attribute values reflect the values chosen and confirmed by the Provider Agent.
Would these terms help clarify your service definition document?
