Description
This view specifies how services can be combined and sequenced to provide a ‘higher level’ service. Note that there might be several instances (products) of this view since there are generally several different possible service combinations.
The view is best presented by means of a UML composite structure diagram, but other possibilities also exist. It should be noted that no decision concerning the implementation of the service is actually made in this view; for example, the orchestration is a requirement specification rather than a design. In fact, none of the service subviews describe the implementation of the services, this is covered in the NSV-12 view.
Implementation
NSOV-3 can be represented using:
- An NSOV-3 Services to Operational Activities Mapping diagram which is a non-editable Dependency Matrix. Service Interfaces will be used as row elements, and Operational Activities will be used as column elements.
- An NSOV-3 Services to Service Contracts Mapping matrix. The Services to Service Contracts Mapping matrix depicts mapping between the Services or their specializations and the Service Contracts they govern.
