UPDM — 7.1.5.2.1 Request

7.1.5.2.1 Request: MODAF definition is given as "The mechanism by which a Service communicates." This doesn't exist in MODAF, so no idea where this definition has come from or even what "request" is meant to be. The UPDM definition of "A Request port provides an interaction point for accessing a Resource's capabilities, as defined by the ServiceInterface typing the port. It includes the specification of the work required from another, and the request to perform work by another. The Request is basically a conjugated version of a Service port and as such can use the same ServiceInterface. By adding the Request port to the consumer of the Service, the implementation of a service is kept transparent."…is frankly incomprehensible, which doesn't help.
