I believe that the definition of Web services in "Web Services Architecture W3C Working Draft 14 November 2002" http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-ws-arch-20021114/ excludes "services" described with WSDL 1.1 (http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/NOTE-wsdl-20010315). The definition reads: "[Definition: A Web service is a software system identified by a URI, whose public interfaces and bindings are defined and described using XML. Its definition can be discovered by other software systems. These systems may then interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its definition, using XML based messages conveyed by internet protocols.]" Services described in WSDL 1.1 are not identified by a URI. Instead, each port of a service is identified by a URI. Is this intentional? Have I interpreted the definition correctly? regards, Joao Paulo Almeida
