Working Draft: Primer for Web Services Choreography

  The Web Services Choreography Working Group has released the First
  Public Working Draft of "Web Services Choreography Description
  Language: Primer." The primer is intended as an easy to understand
  tutorial on the uses and the features of the WS-CDL specification.
  WS-CDL describes peer-to-peer collaborations between Web service
  participants by defining their behavior from a global viewpoint.
  Ordered message exchanges thus accomplish a common business goal.
