Re: how to document more than one operation

Hello,

thank you for a reply,
the example I gave was not the best and the weather forecast and tourist
attraction service are
indeed two completely seperate services. But say that you have a service
that offers two operations:
a hotel reservation and a cancel hotel reservation. Both of these operations
are documented in the
same WSDL-file.
Should I create a seperate OWL-S definition for each of those services then
?

Greetings,

Davy Vermeir
