Abstract

Services as an emerging paradigm in modern information technology (IT) infrastructures underwent the first hype for service-oriented computing caused by Web services and the second hype by IT market pressures on large corporations (e.g. SAP), leading to standardisations incorporating logical-level specifications leaving much of the low-level details unaccounted for.The conception of a service needs a conceptual reflection. However, the service notation lacks a conceptual model. This gap is caused by the variety of aspects that must be reflected, such as the handling of the services as a collection of offerings, a proper annotation facility beyond ontologies, a tool to describe the service concept and the specification of the added value of a business user. Those requirements must be handled at the same time. Therefore, this chapter contributes to the development of a conceptual model of a service through a specification framework WH and through an embedding framework to the concept-content-annotation triptych and Hermagoras of Temnos inquiry frames.

It is far older. It dates back to Cicero and even to Hermagoras of Temnos who was one of the inventors of rhetoric frames in the second century bc. The latter has been using a frame consisting of the seven questions: quis, quid, quando, ubi, cur, quem ad modum and quibus adminiculis (W7: who, what, when, where, why, in what way, by what means). The work of Hermagoras of Temnos is almost lost. He had a great influence on orality due to his proposals. For instance, Cicero has intensively discussed his proposals and made them thus available.
