Abstract

As Service Descriptions formalisms increase in maturity, significant issues remain regarding how the description instances will actually be published, shared and discovered. By way of discussion and description of a prototype Service Description Search service, this paper discusses the distinction between the registry based approaches currently underway for service discovery and more open "publish and search" metaphors used by the current generation web.
