Abstract

Within MDA framework, system models can be built up on an abstract level that is independent from the platform. Later on, this abstract model can be transmitted into service description, which is related to specific platform on the implementation level. In Web Services applications, this transition has a great advantage. Because, while the model of implementation changes from one case to another to fit the different platforms, the model of whole system, on a higher abstract level, stays the same. Thus, the efficiency is promoted. This paper firstly discusses the extension of UML for Web Services, and then it presents the modeling process of WSDL. Finally, it gives the rules and arithmetic of transition from models to WSDL documents in detail.
