Abstract
This paper addresses the problem of applying the general network theory for analyzing qualitatively Web services networks. The paper reviews current approaches to analyzing Web services networks, generalizes the published approaches into a formal framework for analyzing Web services networks and demonstrates its applicability in practice. More specifically, two case studies are described where the presented framework has been applied. The first one considers identification of redundant data in large-scale service-oriented information systems, while the second one measures information diffusion between individual information systems.

Notes
- 1.
Other notions of semantic equivalence between elements could be employed. For example, we could consider that two elements are equivalent if these elements are annotated with concepts that subsume one another according to a given ontology. For practical purposes, the notion of equivalence used to compare model references is orthogonal to the techniques proposed in this paper.

We use XPath-style references to refer to specific fragments of schema.
