Hi,
Currently we're looking at something like the following:
A service that exposes the capabilities or data of one or more data resources within a service-oriented architecture.
I think it should be "the capabilities and data" as opposed to "or". Similarly for the definition below. However, I think the one above is more succinct and thus gets my vote.
or
A service that exposes the capabilities of one or more data resources within a service-oriented architecture. These capabilities might include data access, data transfer or data management.
