I don't think that's enough to be sure, at least for me. The basic point is that a ServiceType identifies the entirety of a service, rather than a component or aspect of one. I remember how vac started off but I don't know how it has evolved since - is it now an entire computing service as an alternative to e.g. CREAM or ARC? GLUE ServiceTypes are unique, a given service can only have one, unlike the GOC DB. Stephen
