The Canonical WSDL Portal
Posted on March 3, 2011 | No CommentsHow does one sell something that doesn't really exist in the physical world? Well you attach some sort of value to the thing.

Posted on October 7, 2010 | No CommentsA model is useful if it describes something in a context that renders a complex topic easier to digest for specific audience. Its purpose is to describe, to communicate. It is an expression of a viewpoint. It isn't a detailed map or a blueprint. It is representative of a system, it doesn't depict the system. It is an abstraction. I'm afraid we model too frequently as a cover for not actually producing things of value.
