Re: [provision] Use Case Primer

Darran, thanks for writing this introduction; it was helpful to me.

A suggestion:  in the document you have identify the following system
elements: requesting authority, provisioning service point, provisioning
service target.
Should we include "provisioning service user" as a system element and talk
about PSUIDs rather than vIDs?  As I understand it, a vID represents a
"user" so a user should be a system element, and this makes it more
straightforward, it seems to me.

By the same reasoning, perhaps we should have as a system element a
"provisioning service target resource" -- the element that gets allocated
to a user as a result of an allocation request from the PSP to a PST.
Instead of resource, this could be called an "account" or "service".  But
if it were called a PSTR, then its ID would be PSTRID, rather than vID.

Or maybe we drop the PS in both cases and just call the above UIDs and
TRIDs.

Folks

As discussed on last Mondays con-call on use cases, I have pulled together
a brief introduction to vID's and PSTID's.  I submit the following draft
for your consideration before the Use Case call Monday 3/25/2002.

A brief description of the diagrammatic notation is required.  I was unable
to find a suitable Visio stencil for Martin/Chen style crows feet so I have
used an arrow to implement cardinality.
