Abstract

Self describing web services is a catchy phrase but it should mean more than having a description based on XML syntax. In this paper we take software engineering requirements for software interfaces and compare them to web service description specifications. The comparison shows that, at present, less information is associated with a web service than we expect for ordinary software.
