Requirement

Title

Service abstract

Identifier

SWIM-SERV-007

Requirement

A service description shall include an abstract as a small textual description in plain language summarising the service.

Rationale

A good abstract is valuable, in particular during service discovery.

This requirement supports the decisions on whether the described service is suitable for use in a particular situation.

Verification

Completeness: Verify that the element is included.

Consistency: Not Applicable.

Correctness: Not Applicable. 

Examples/Notes

Note: It is best practice for an abstract to summarise the information provided elsewhere in the service description and not to bring any new information.

Level of Implementation

Mandatory
