Hi all,

Who is maintaining the Apps/Srv Chapter wiki?

We (Sandro and myself) reviewed the content and found that there is 
duplicate content on the wiki - see below.

Use cases

The FI-WARE platform consists of a number of Generic Enablers, which can 
be used to build a concrete FI-WARE instance. Different FI-WARE 
instances might differ from each other because of the concrete selection 
of GEs and their customization. Also additional domain-specific enablers 
as well as proprietary enablers may be added. The following generic 
scenario diagrams show how the GE of the Apps Chapter are typically used 
in a sample Use Case. We provide scenario diagrams from the perspective 
of a Service Provider providing services and from the perspective of a 
Consumer buying and executing services. Materialization of the 
architecture linked to the Apps chapter has followed an Agile 
methodology so that each of these usage scenarios have been mapped into 
Themes. The functionality to be supported by each of the FI-WARE GEs 
involved in a Theme is described in more detail in the corresponding 
Epics. You may refer to the description of the FI-WARE Agile Methodology 
to learn more about how Agile concepts are being used in the 
materialization of the FI-WARE vision.

*The following is duplicated below*
The first Theme describes the end-to-end process associated with the 
Service provider creating an offering and it shows the interaction of a 
number of generic enablers from the Apps chapter.
The first step for the service provider, once s/he has chosen a service 
s/he wants to commercialize, is to define the Business Model for the new 
offering. In this task the service provider could create a new business 
model or instantiate a predefined one from a template using the Business 
Elements Model Editor and Simulator (BEMES) toolkit. Then the service 
provider could use the simulation tool that is part of the BEMES toolkit 
in order to check its adequacy. The Business Model will be stored in the 
repository by the Business Elements Model Editor that is part of the 
BEMES toolkit. The Business Model associated to a service will contain 
both the description of the pricing as well as the revenue share model 
(in this latter case, in a way that can be processed by the Revenue 
Share Engine).
Once the Business Model has been chosen, the next task implies creating 
the Linked USDL description for the service offering, by using the USDL 
editor and storing it in the Repository. Then, the Service Provider 
creates the skeleton of the offering in the Store, including the name 
and version that will be used to identify the offering in the Store, as 
well as the link of the USDL that describes both the service and its 
Business Model. When the Store receives the request to create an 
offering, it downloads the USDL description from the Repository. In the 
next step, the Service Provider registers the resources and binds them 
to the offering.
Once the service offering has been created, the next step for the 
Service Provider is to publish it in order to make the service offering 
available to potential customers. The Service Provider should choose the 
Store, where the offering will be available. Finally, the Store 
publishes the service offering in the Marketplace, and notifies the 
Revenue Sharing System that a new offering has been published, which 
downloads the revenue sharing model (which is part of the chosen 
business model) from the Repository.

*And here goes the same again*

target marketplace, where the offering will be searchable. Finally, the 
Store publishes the service offering in the chosen Marketplace, and 
notifies the Revenue Sharing System that a new offering has been 
published, which downloads the revenue sharing model (which is part of 
the chosen business model) from the Repository.
