re services
Those are my conclusions as well. 
 
I think the appropriate tool for messaging is scenario modeling.  The trick is to not pass
all of the possible names, but to pick names that *work* in all of the possible scenarios.
HTML works because the primary consumers are humans.  By extension, XML works
because the primary consumers are machines.
 
There is a sort of meta-management theme: 
 
Mgt 101:  Conservation of Power.  It is a bad idea to use an amplifier where a filter is wanted.
Don't confuse signal processing with amplification, or noise with lack of power.
 
Thanks Joe.

Is domain modeling an appropriate approach to message modeling?
 
[JMC] I would say no.
 
In other words, if you want to model a message exchange pattern, would you
use the same tools you use to model an ontology?
 
[JMC] Assuming such tools were mutually exclusive regarding their capabilities (they did not have the capability to model both message exchanges and ontologies), I would say no. However, the messages that can be exchanged can be driven by a domain ontology (i.e. "what types of information can/should we exchange?"), so it would be good if there were interfaces between such tools, or that a single tool had both capabilities.
 
Would you use the same tools you use to model a database schema to
model a message schema?  Would you use the same interview techniques?
 
[JMC] Partly - thinking in terms of the message payload vs. the message infrastructure. The overlap would be for the message payload.

As I read the blogs on hi-REST and lo-REST, I keep thinking, one shouldn't
try to model messages as if they were data, that a messaging system is
orthogonal to a database and that this is a conceptual impedance at the
heart of many a tempest in a teapot with respect to the web architecture,
REST, and SOAs.
