OK, but this comes back to my question: what are we trying to identify? If it's *just* the Actions then we don't need this. If it's *just* the services then this helps. However, I think it should be *both* Actions and services (either together or individually). I'd have thought an Action should be identified within the scope of the service in some hierarchical manner. For example:

:

or

<ESB instance>::<action type>:<action instance>

The latter just in case we want to differentiate between multiple instances of the same Action within a service.

If that's the case then what you mention would be the <ESB instance>, right?
