+===== Service =====
+A service is a more formal and comprehensive way of communicating than a [[ref:glossary:notification|notification]]. A party requesting a service from another party must first identify itself to the other party, and can expect a meaningful reply back. For example, requesting an order status for a given order number from an order management system.
+**//[[ref:glossary:aware_im]]//** allows defining services for [[ref:glossary:intelligent_business_object|intelligent business objects]] and using these services in a [[ref:glossary:business_space|business space]]. For example, sending payment details to a payment processing system for completion of the payment. [[ref:glossary:discovering_services|Service discovery]] is a feature that helps [[ref:glossary:configurator|the configurator]] in defining services for objects communicating via a [[ref:glossary:communication_channel|standard channel]].
+Since a [[ref:glossary:business_space|business space]] is an [[ref:glossary:intelligent_business_object|intelligent business object]], the [[ref:glossary:configurator|configurator]] can define services that the business space provides to other software systems via standard or custom [[ref:glossary:communication_channel|channels]].
