Point 8: Web Service Discovery as Logic Programming

---

• Currently everyone agrees UDDI does not work.
• It's just a list of Web Services with no way of making sense of them.
• Use Semantic Web typing to categorize them according to input and output at least.
• Search via partial information about the Web Service input and output while remaining agnostic about the exact Web Service needed
• Very similar to back-tracking in logic programming.
