Web Service logging, or is that slogging?
When generating logs, primarily error logs but could also be used for activity logging, the format of SOA-R logs will be RSS. More specifically, RSS 1.0 (RDF). This will allow for easier access to web service logs via RSS readers, as well as providing either CSS or XSLT stylesheet PIs to provide default styling/transformations respectively.
In addition, the error log items will have as their link a means of posting the error/exception info to the administrator.
Other nice features could include in the activity log, a thumbnail of each transform and a link to, for example, the client (mailto or website).
The additional metadata will use Dublin Core plus whatever else seems appropriate to classify the contents of any particular item.
You could call them 'Service Logs', or 'slogs' for short!
