Bruner, Goodnow, and Austin suggested that the most effective mechanism to separate concepts
into distinguishable classes is the act of invention and human creativity. These learning aspects
are the most important principles of the service identification process required to visualize abstractions.
This is a paradoxical notion, since visualizing intangible entities requires the manipulation
of concepts that are not concrete and hard to understand at times.
What is the service identification process? What are the mechanisms of concept discovery?
Service discovery is a process of learning by applying rules.2 It enables the identification of
conceptual services that can facilitate the foundation of an organization??™s conceptual services
taxonomies. Learning is an iterative activity, and to a certain extent, it is also a trial-and-error
method??”we repeat these processes until we get things right. Thus, concept discovery efforts
must be conducted by embracing methodological approaches in which analysis and inference
activities ascertain organizations??™ conceptual services.
Conceptual services are candidates for organizational reuse. These abstractions and ideas
should serve as major analysis artifacts for service development projects and service-oriented
initiatives. Thus, the degree to which it is possible to generalize and abstract an organization??™s
business requirements and separate business concerns can influence enterprise asset reusability,
loose coupling, and even the consolidation of redundant business functionality.
