Is domain modeling an appropriate approach to message modeling?

In other words, if you want to model a message exchange pattern, would you

use the same tools you use to model an ontology?

Would you use the same tools you use to model a database schema to

model a message schema? Would you use the same interview techniques?

As I read the blogs on hi-REST and lo-REST, I keep thinking, one shouldn't

try to model messages as if they were data, that a messaging system is

orthogonal to a database and that this is a conceptual impedance at the

heart of many a tempest in a teapot with respect to the web architecture,

REST, and SOAs.
