Abstract

In the service oriented architecture, Web services are the standard means of providing functionality to a remote partner. The interfaces of these Web Services are defined in the Web Services Description Language (WSDL). If two or more partners are involved in the development of a Web Service, a need to collaboratively edit service interface definitions can arise in order to increase productivity and to prevent ambiguities. In this paper, we investigate the process of collaborative interface design and present a Web-based, collaborative WSDL development system, which can be integrated with a collaborative workflow development system.
