Re: how to document more than one operation

Hi,

Yes you would have to make a separate OWL-S process model for each of 
these.  The reason being that although Hotel reservation and 
cancellation may be part of the same service, however they are still 
distinct processes. It does not  matter if the WSDL definitioan are 
bundled in one file, as several OWL files can refer to the same WSDL 
definition.
