Prosumer's Responsibilities?

This chapter addresses issues relating the clarification of responsibilities associated to business services. The definition of the constraints is part of the definition of the services. The main objective is to describe the influence of the constraints in the service elaboration mechanisms. The authors propose an approach for the specification of the constraints associated to services and for the management of access rights needed to use and exploit services. The usage of services is strongly coupled with the stakeholder's responsibilities. Finally, the authors discuss a usage scenario implementing this approach in the context of sensitive data exchange between stakeholders from the healthcare domain. Furthermore, they describe how the constraints are defined.
