This Service Specification package provides the files and documents necessary for stakeholders to gain an understanding of the Person Photo Search Results Service and the rules applicable to its implementation; the main components of the Service Specification are the Service Description and Service Interface Description documents, artifacts and schema folders with related files, and metadata files.
The Service Description Document (SDD) provides stakeholders with all aspects of the Person Photo Search Request Service (PPSResS) that are not directly tied to the physical implementation of the Service, while the Service Interface Description Document (SIDD) provides a description of the physical implementation of the PPSResS. The PPSResS provides photographs and demographic data from a Photo Imaging Network (PIN) and Department of Transportation (DOT) photo systems. The SDD lays out the Service overview, including scope, capabilities, real-world effects, security classification, service specification package version, and more; it also provides Service interoperability requirements, including Service assumptions and dependencies, policies and contracts, security, privacy, and other requirements; as well as service model information, including behavior and information models for photo search requests. The SIDD document in this Service Package include is a companion document to the PPSResS Service Description Document, providing execution context; Service interaction requirements; interface description requirements; message exchange patterns and definition mechanisms; policies and contracts, including automated and nonautomated service contracts; umbrella agreements; security and privacy information; and service testing.
