    Hi Jeffrey and team,
    
    Here's an initial take on trying to define some of the more
    basic terms in WSIA.
    
    Consumer              A business entity creating Consumer Applications.
    
    Consumer Application  A Web application that uses one or more 
                          WSIA Web Services.
    
    Producer              A business entity creating, publishing and
                          supporting WSIA Web Services.
    
    WSIA Interface        A programmatic interface defined by the WSIA 
                          committee to support the creation of Web Services
                          that encapsulate and integrate user-facing 
                          interactive applications.
    
    WSIA Web Service      A SOAP-compliant Web Service that adheres to one 
                          or more WSIA interfaces.
