Service description (UPDM - NAF aliases)
Creation
To create a Service Description:
• From the model or a UML Package: right-click the Package, point to New, point to NAF, point to Service, and then click Service Description.
• From an Architectural Description or Service Description: right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description, point to New, point to NAF, point to Service, and then click Service Description.
• From an NSOV-1 Service Taxonomy, NSOV-2 Service Definition, NSOV-3 Capability to Service Definition or NSOV-5 Service Functionality: click the Service Description toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.
Appearance
When shown on an NSOV-1 Service Taxonomy, NSOV-2 Service Definition, NSOV-3 Capability to Service Definition, NSOV-5 Service Functionality, a Service Description appears as follows:
On a diagram you can populate the contents of a Service Description.
Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to a Service Description:
• Architectural Reference relationships link a Service Description to other Service Description or Architectural Description elements.
