On the Integration of Heterogeneous Web Service Partners
Francisco Curbera, Ignacio Silva-Lepe · 2001
A new distributed computing model for the Web is now being defined as a result of several ongoing standardization initiatives. This effort is driven by the need to enable open business to business (B2B) interactions on the Web, and is centered around the development of new vocabularies based on the Extensible Markup Language (XML) standard. The Web Services Description Language (WSDL), the interface definition language of the new computing stack, introduces a new generic model of application interactions.
