Abstract
The identification and specification of services from a business perspective is an important baseline to drive the specification and realization of IT services. The SoaML specification supports modelling services from both a business and an IT perspective. However, being based on a UML profile, SoaML is not typically used by business modellers (strategists, analysts and architects) or supported in business modelling tools. We propose Business-SoaML, a light-weight domain-specific language (DSL) that captures the key concepts of SoaML relevant to business modellers. Business-SoaML is aligned with the emerging Value Delivery Modeling Language (VDML) specification.
