<p>From Peter Kriens' blog on {link:Bundle-Service Diagrams | http://www.osgi.org/blog/2006/04/details-are-important-when-you-are.html}:
{quote}
... use a circle for a bundle and a triangle for a service. The service can be used in 3 different ways by a bundle, and this needs to be depicted:</p>
<ol>
<li>Consumer - The bundle that gets the service is the consumer. The arrow from the bundle attaches to the horizontal or vertical line on a service triangle. An OSGi service can be consumed many times by any bundle. Many bundles can therefore connect to the horizontal or vertical line of the triangle.</li>
<li>Implementer - The bundle that implements the service must register it. This is depicted by drawing a line to a corner of the triangle. An OSGi service can be registered many times by the same or different bundles.</li>
<li>Listener - A listener bundle connects to one of the angled lines of the triangle. A listener is notified of registrations, modifications and unregistrations of the service. A service can have many listeners.</li>
</ol>
<p quote="quote">A service is identified by its <em>interface</em>.</p>
