I wonder if the use of fragment ids is a requirement, or just an assumed
form
of solution? I've found that if something's worth identifying, it's
worth
identifying without a fragment id.
My approach would be to treat this as a compound document serialization
problem, and use rdf:about to identify the consituent documents within
the
compound document (the WSDL file). Using the stockquote example from
the
WSDL 1.1 spec, if I wanted to address the "GetLastTradePrice" operation,
I'd
just do this;
<operation name="GetLastTradePrice"
rdf:about="http://example.com/stockquote/operation/GetLastTradePrice">
<input message="tns:GetLastTradePriceInput"/>
<output message="tns:GetLastTradePriceOutput"/>
</operation>
Then references to that operation could use that URI.
I haven't used this approach (as I don't use WSDL), but I don't think
there
are any RDF/WSDL integration "gotchas" with it. I could be wrong
though.
