Yes, that's what I meant by WSDL analogy. We use this approach to handle 
our own Web Services e.g., those driving online ordering etc.. We 
incorporate the URI template language [1]
  into our vocabulary which ensures the entire signature and URL-based 
call patterns of a service are described in an RDF document.
