Abstract

One of the basic purposes of USDL is to provide a “commercial envelope” around a service for exposition in Web-based service networks (i.e., the Internet of Services). Besides the description of pricing, licensing, functionality, behavior, service levels, and security aspects, there remain the following fundamental facets: the interweaving of all the aspects, the modeling of basic concepts such as service, composite service, or bundles, and the information about participants in the delivery of the service. These concepts are reflected in the modules introduced in this chapter: the Service Module and the Participants Module. These two modules are complemented by the Foundation which covers aspects that are used in multiple other modules. This chapter presents the module design taking into account the influence of the state of the art and several of the general language requirements as well as the service concept formation requirements from Chapter 8.
