DR053 [was Another requirement]

Jochen, this is an interesting requirement. 

I believe we need to support the case where a client is looking for a specific set of operations, i.e., for a specific port type. For the degenerate case where a client is looking for a single specific operation, could we meet this requirement by allowing degenerate port types that encapsulate a single operation?

Subject: Another requirement


[DR053] With the usage of XML schema in the ELEMENT attribute of the PART element 
(current WSDL spec) it is possible to use a type system as a kind of taxonomy 
for a semantical enriched description of parameters. To automatically search a 
suitable service respectively operation from a set of service descriptions it 
is not enough only to consider the parameters but also a kind of operation 
"type" (something like a taxonomy on operations). So I would suggest a kind of 
ELEMENT or TYPE attribute for operations.
(Formulating this as a requirement: Must be able to classify/categorize 
operations.)

Regards

jr.
