Earlier in the week I had a good meeting with the reference model projects in Brum – pretty much trying to take up the task of defining services from the brick-adopters meeting only with an obvious focus on the e-framework and the Definitions papers and templates. There was some quite animated discussion of how the template (for Service Genre) as it stands seems rather heavy and that a more lightweight version should be produced – skipping any unnecessary or un-knowable elements. I’ve got recordings of it which I mean to chop into bits and post somewhere soon. As a follow up the projects have been asked to crystallise their thoughts on what is wrong with the e-framework definitions and template at the moment – and to fill in templates for two services by the end of the month.
