Abstract. We identify three foundational tasks for clients interacting with Web services, and study how to realise these tasks using major paradigms (WS-*, Semantic Web Services, RESTful APIs and Linked APIs). We identify relative merits of each approach and point out how the combination of resource-oriented services with Linked Data can enable an interoperable ecosystem of Web services. 1
