Among many service choreography description languages, WS-CDL which has been developed by W3C is the most popular one. This language is an intermediate language mostly considered as a design language to describe the choreography, and is unable to model the choreography in high level. Regard to this issue, this paper proposes a set of notations, used at the analysis phase, help user to express the choreography of services in graphical, simple and readable model. We tried to introduce a set of coherent notations cover all WS-CDL structures and lead developers to specify the choreography in multi levels of abstractions. So, even nontechnical designers can design more abstract parts of choreography and only leaves WSCDL technical details for experts.
