Abstract

This paper presents a federated directory system called WS-Dir, which allows registration and discovery of semantic web services. The system is designed and implemented as a federation: directory services form its atomic units, and the federation emerges from the registration of directory services in other directory services. Directories are virtual clusters of service entries stored in one or more directory services. To create the topology, policies are defined on all possible operations to be called on directories.
