Web Services Conversation Language
The Web Services Conversation Language (WSCL)
aims to supplement interface definition languages, e.g. WSDL, by describing the
sequences of legal interactions that can be carried out with a particular web service interface.
The specification defines the following basic concepts to allow
conversations to be described:
- DocumentTypes -- references to XML Schemas
- Interactions -- one or two way message exchanges
- Transitions -- descriptions of how to move from one interaction to another
It is expected that WSCL will be extended to describe more complex
scenarios, e.g. multi-part conversations. The specification also notes that
formal descriptions of interactions will allow the creation of web service
frameworks that will allow the separation of messaging from core application logic.
As a processing description language, WSCL has some overlaps
with the recent
XML Pipeline submission.
