Web Services Flow Language

Description

The Web Services Flow Language (WSFL) is an XML language for the description of Web Services compositions. WSFL considers two types of Web Services compositions: * The first type specifies the appropriate usage pattern of a collection of Web Services, in such a way that the resulting composition describes how to achieve a particular business goal; typically, the result is a description of a business process. * The second type specifies the interaction pattern of a collection of Web Services; in this case, the result is a description of the overall partner interactions. The guiding principle behind WSFL is to fit naturally into the Web Services computing stack. It is layered on top of the Web Services Description Language.
