Is this because the SOA can be considered an enabling > layer but separate from the process layer? That is exactly right. We have discussed the notion of POA (Process-Oriented Architecture) as being separate from SOA, and it's highly likely that a separate OASIS TC may be initiated at some point in the future for POA, to extend the work that the SOA-RM TC has done. IMO, it would be best that this not occur until after the SOA-RM TC has completed at least one reference architecture (or is at least far enough along). We'll be tackling reference architecture next, in the very near future.
