This section describes the OWL ontology for WSDL, comparing it to the WSDL component model defined in <a href="#todo"> WSDL2 [ WSDL 2.0 Core </a>. Language ]. While the text in this section may imply how the components might be mapped to their RDF representation, such implications are not intended to be normative; for normative, as this section aims to be a verbose explanation of the mapping. For the formal normative mappings, see Appendix B .
This section may also briefly touch on some differences between the OWL ontology and the component model, but for the full account and rationalization rationales of these differences see section 3 4 .
The ontological equivalents for the core WSDL components defined in <a href="#todo"> WSDL2 [ WSDL 2.0 Core Language ] are described in section 2.1 . All these components are extensible, so section 2.2 describes how deleted text: features, properties and extensions are mapped to RDF. The following sections, from 2.3 to 2.7, describe the ontological equivalents for the various adjuncts specified in <a href="#todo"> WSDL2 [ WSDL 2.0 Adjuncts </a>. ].
All the main components of WSDL are represented as classes in
the WSDL ontology: Description
,
Interface
, Binding
and
Service
, as described in the following subsections.
This means that every interface, binding and service described by
WSDL will be mapped to a single instance in the RDF representation,
linked from the instance mapped from the top-level description Description component.
All the components in WSDL can contain documentation. Such
documentation consists of human-readable text and
machine-processible elements and attributes, but it isn't modeled
in more detail in WSDL 2. Therefore in the RDF mapping we represent
documentation as XML literals, which should consist of the
wsdl:documentation
element and all its children. The
literal is attached to the appropriate component in the RDF
representation using the property documentation
.
Ednote
The top-level WSDL component — description — is
mapped to a single instance of the class Description
,
which uses the properties interface
, binding
deleted text: </code>, <code> service </code>,
<code> typeDefinition
and elementDeclaration service
to point to its contents, i.e. all
the interfaces, bindings, services, type
definitions bindings and
services. Note that since we don't
model element declarations present
(or included or imported) in this description. and type definitions further than just the QNames, we
also don't reference them from the Description
instance. This also means that while all WSDL component
models implicitly contain all XML Schema simple type definitions,
the RDF mapping does not show them.
Note that a mapping of a single WSDL document (together with any
imports or includes) will always result in a single instance of the
Description
class. However, there can be multiple
individuals of the class Description
in a knowledge
base that contains the information from multiple WSDL documents.
The core WSDL specification does not consider the case of combining
multiple independent WSDL documents and deleted text: that it doesn't mandate that independent
documents describe consistently components with the same name. This
is, however, an assumption when combining multiple WSDL documents
in the RDF representation. See more on this
point in section
4.2 .
All WSDL interfaces are represented in RDF as instances of the
Interface
class. WSDL interfaces can extend other
interfaces, which is indicated by the property
extensionOf
. Interfaces may have operations and
faults, represented as instances of InterfaceOperation
and InterfaceFault
classes and each pointed to with
the properties interfaceOperation
and
interfaceFault
, respectively.
There are a number of properties applicable to
InterfaceOperation
instances:
messageExchangePattern
property points to an
instance of the class MessageExchangePattern
and thus
indicates the message exchange pattern (MEP) used by this
operation; there can be only one MEP on one operationoperationStyle
property points to an instance of
the class OperationStyle
and indicates that the
operation adheres to the given style; there can be multiple
operation styles on a single operationinterfaceMessageReference
and
interfaceFaultReference
properties point to instances
of InterfaceMessageReference
and
InterfaceFaultReference
classes respectively, which
are described later.Interface faults, in turn, only contain a single pointer to an
element declaration, represented by the property
elementDeclaration
and pointing to a
QName
instance.
Interface message references and interface fault references can
indicate their direction — input message references and input
fault references all belong to the class InputMessage
and output message references and output fault references all
belong to the class OutputMessage
. Further, both
message references and fault references indicate the appropriate
message labels (instances of MessageLabel
,
representing particular messages in the operation's MEP) using the
property messageLabel
. (In section
2.3 we describe how message exchange patterns are modeled in
our RDF mapping.)
Furthermore, interface message references point to element
declarations using the property elementDeclaration
and
they specify their message content model with the property
messageContentModel
, indicating one of the four
possible instances of the class MessageContentModel
.
Interface And
finally interface fault references,
on the other hand, references
refer to their interface faults directly using the property
interfaceFault
.
WSDL bindings are represented in RDF as instances of the class
Binding
. To indicate a particular interface for which
binding information is specified with this WSDL binding, the
particular Interface
instance is pointed to using the
property interface
. Binding types (for example SOAP
binding or HTTP binding, as specified in <a href="#todo"> WSDL2 adjuncts
[ WSDL 2.0 Adjuncts ) ]) are themselves
classes in RDF, so a binding type is indicated by belonging to the
appropriate class (using the property rdf:type
).
As the structure of bindings follows the structure of
interfaces, we represent binding operations and faults using the
classes BindingOperation
and BindingFault
respectively. The parent binding points to them using the similarly
named properties bindingOperation
and
bindingFault
. Binding operations further contain
message and fault references, represented as instances of the
classes BindingMessageReference
and
BindingFaultReference
, and pointed to by the
properties bindingMessageReference
and
bindingFaultReference
.
Within this structure, each component points to the appropriate
component from the interface structure, i.e. binding operations
point to interface operations, binding faults respectively point to
interface faults and binding message and fault references point to
interface message and fault references. To provide these pointers,
we reuse the same properties that are used within the interface
structure, i.e. interfaceOperation
,
interfaceFault
,
interfaceMessageReference
and
interfaceFaultReference
.
Finally, each component is supposed to contain extensions that provide the actual binding information. For the description of handling such extensions see section 2.2 and for the specific bindings included in WSDL 2 specification, see sections 2.6 and 2.7 .
WSDL services are represented in RDF as instances of the class
Service
. Each instance must point to a single
interface; for this purpose we reuse the property
interface
. Also, each service has one or more
endpoints, to which it points using the property
endpoint
.
Endpoints are represented as instances of the class
Endpoint
, with two notable properties: mandatory
single binding
points to the binding used by this
endpoint, and optional single address
points to the
network resource which actually offers the service.
In order to enable evolution and reusability of the language, WSDL 2 allows extensions on all components. In fact, there are multiple types of extensibility in WSDL 2: extension points, abstract features and properties, and generic XML-based extensions.
Extension points are those places in WSDL where a number of options is defined by the WSDL 2 specification, but the list is open. For example, interface operations follow message exchange patterns (MEPs), and while WSDL 2 provides a list of eight MEPs, new ones can be specified by WSDL 2 users. Similarly, WSDL 2 specifies two bindings (SOAP and HTTP), but more bindings are expected to be specified in the future, either by the WS-Description Working Group or by any interested third parties. Often, extension points use URIs to refer to the various options, but often the extensions introduce data that needs to be modeled in the RDF representation of WSDL 2, in which case it is the responsibility of the extension designers to describe their mappings to RDF.
Features and properties represent abstract pieces of functionality and their run-time parameters. Mostly, features and properties simply use URIs to identify their semantics, and this easily translates into RDF, as described below in section 2.2.1 .
Apart from the envisioned extensibility points and the abstract functionality extensibility using features, WSDL 2 allows the XML WSDL documents to contain any "foreign" elements and attributes, so that unexpected extensions, even ones that change the core WSDL semantics, can also be realized. Mapping such extensions to RDF is described in section 2.2.2 .
Every feature component is mapped to RDF as an instance of the
class Feature
. This instance is identified by the
feature's IRI, i.e. the value of the {ref} property of the feature
component.
Features can be required or optional. In RDF, this is indicated
by the property that points from the feature's parent component to
the feature — it is either the requiresFeature
or the offersFeature
property.
Property components in WSDL 2 serve to specify or constrain the
value that a property can have at run time. As one of the few
naming differences between the RDF representation and the WSDL 2
component model, the property components are represented as
instances of the class PropertyValue
, pointed to from
the property's parent component using the
propertyValue
RDF property.
Every PropertyValue
instance points to the actual
property whose value it specifies, using the RDF property named
property
. PropertyValue
instances also
either specify the actual value of the property (using the RDF
property propertyActualValue
) or they constrain the
possible values of the property using a type definition identified
by its QName
(referenced from the
PropertyValue
instance by the RDF property
propertyValueType
).
The actual meaning of general extensions is, by definition, unknown to the WSDL specification, and it is equally unknown to the RDF mapping. Therefore every extension should specify how it is mapped to RDF. For example, the SOAP and HTTP bindings in WSDL 2 add many properties to the core binding components and this document defines how these particular properties are expressed in RDF. The mapping of extensions to RDF therefore depends on the understanding of those extensions. This section describes how unknown extensions are handled when mapping a WSDL document into RDF.
In WSDL 2, extensions can be marked as mandatory (or required). Such extensions may alter the semantics of the extended components in ways that invalidate the existing semantics. Since the RDF representation of WSDL intends to represent the semantics of the WSDL data, components with deleted text: unknown required extensions must be mapped to RDF according to the rules of the extension, not according to the rules specified in this document. If a processor that does the mapping of a WSDL document to RDF does not understand a particular mandatory extension, it must not map the component that contains that extension into any generic RDF representation, in other words the component will not be present in the resulting RDF data. This is to avoid confusing processors that don't understand a mandatory extension — RDF encourages the principle of ignoring the unknown parts of an RDF graph (partial understanding) and there is no agreed mechanism of marking some parts as mandatory, therefore if we decided to map the known WSDL according to our rules and add the mandatory unknown extensions in the graph, they could be ignored by some RDF processors, violating their the mandatoriness.
Finally unknown optional extensions (not mandatory) can be
represented in the RDF representation using the properties
extensionElement
and extensionAttribute
.
Extension elements are represented as XML literals containing the
whole extension XML elements (and should also include all the
in-scope namespaces and the XML base); extension attributes are
represented as instances of the class
ExtensionAttribute
, which in turn have a name
(property attributeName
pointing to a
QName
) and a value (property rdf:value
pointing to a literal containing the attribute value).
Such representation of unknown optional extensions is not intended to be used by processors that understand those extensions; instead such processors should reinterpret the XML literals and map them into the appropriate RDF extensions of the rest of the RDF representation.
WSDL 2 defines an extensible set of message exchange patterns (MEPs). There are 8 predefined MEPs, each following one of the three predefined fault propagation rules. Every WSDL MEP defines a set of message labels by which message references in operations can position themselves within the pattern.
In the RDF representation of WSDL, message exchange patterns are
represented as instances of the class
MessageExchangePattern
. The three predefined fault
propagation rules are disjoint subclasses of that class, named
NoFaults
, FaultReplacesMessage
and
MessageTriggersFault
.
All MEPs are identified by IRIs, and the RDF ontology for WSDL
only puts the MEPs in the correct classes; for example
http://www.w3.org/2005/08/wsdl/in-only
http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-only
is
an instance of the class NoFaults
. The message
labels, however, are plain string names, and the RDF ontology for
WSDL gives each of them an IRI formed by the MEP IRI, the hash sign
'#' and the actual message label, and these IRIs are referenced
from the MEPs with the property definesMessageLabel
.
Any newly created MEPs should also provide URIs IRIs for the
message labels, as the RDF mapping depends on being able to
identify the message labels on interface message references.
WSDL 2 Adjuncts contain a single predefined extension, called Operation Safety, which adds a property to interface operation components to indicate whether an interface operation is known to be safe in terms of <a href="#todo"> [ Web Architecture </a>. ].
In the RDF representation of WSDL, we introduce the class
SafeInteraction
— any
InterfaceOperation
instance that is also a
SafeInteraction
is asserted to be safe.
WSDL 2 predefines 3 operation styles — RPC style, IRI
style and Multipart style. These styles are identified with their
IRIs, which the RDF ontology makes instances of the class
OperationStyle
.
The RPC style additionally introduces the property {rpc
signature}, which is represented in RDF using the property
signature
, whose value is a literal whose datatype is
the signature type defined by WSDL 2. The signature
property can be attached to interface operations following the RPC
style to indicate the parameter order for the operation.
WSDL bindings that bind to SOAP are identified (using the
property rdf:type
) as instances of the class
http://www.w3.org/2005/08/wsdl/soap http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/soap
.
Every such binding must indicate the SOAP version that it uses,
this is done with the property version
(with a value
"1.2", for example, meaning SOAP version 1.2). Every binding also
must specify with the property protocol
the underlying
protocol that is uses.
action
.
Each Binding faults in the SOAP binding operation must can
specify two properties — fault code
and fault subcodes. Both fault code and subcodes are QNames, and
they are pointed to using the properties faultCode
and faultSubcode
.The
latter is repeated for each subcode that the binding fault
specifies.
At any level within a SOAP binding,
components can declare the use of
a SOAP message exchange pattern it
uses module. Required modules are
pointed to using the property requiresSOAPModule
and optional modules are pointed to using the
property offersSOAPModule
— both of these properties point directly from the
appropriate parent component to the SOAP module, as identified by
its URI (parameter {ref} of the SOAP
Module component).
Message references and faults in SOAP
bindings can further declare that they include specific SOAP
headers. To do this, the property header
can point to
an instance of the class SOAPHeader
,which
then uses the property elementDeclaration
to specify the exact element that represents the header.
Instances of SOAPHeader
can also
belong to the class MustUnderstandSOAPHeader
,which means that this SOAP header will be marked as
mandatory (mustUnderstand="true") in the message.
Apart from these SOAP-binding-specific properties, the SOAP specification binding reuses underlying protocol properties, for example some HTTP binding properties when the underlying protocol is pointed HTTP. The following section describes the HTTP binding properties.
WSDL bindings that bind to
using HTTP are
identified as instances of the property class
soapMEP http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/http
. The
ontology also introduces HTTP bindings that make use of HTTP cookies are further
identified as instances of the class SOAPMessageExchangePattern HTTPBindingWithCookies
.Every HTTP binding must specify the HTTP version in use,
which is done with the property version
that
contains all (in a different
namespace from the property version
in
the SOAP MEPs. binding), for example HTTP/1.1 is specified with the
value "1.1".
SOAP HTTP
binding operations can specify a number of HTTP parameters:
operation-specific location, HTTP method, input and output and
fault serialization, and query parameter separator. These
parameters are represented in RDF with the properties
location
,method
,inputSerialization
,outputSerialization
,faultSerialization
and queryParameterSeparator
.The values of all these properties are literals, same as
in the XML syntax of WSDL.
Message references and faults in an HTTP
binding can specify the use of extra HTTP headers by pointing to a
QName with the property header
.Message
references and fault references in HTTP binding operations
can also specify the value
transfer coding using the property
transferCoding
with a literal string value, as in the XML
representation. Finally, faults can further specify the HTTP status
code they will be accompanies with, using the property
errorCode
.
HTTP bindings can also specify access
authentication parameters, in particular authentication type and
realm. These parameters are reflected with the properties
authenticationType
and authenticationRealm
with string values.

WSDL defines a component model which consists of components, component properties and sets of components. This document supplies an ontology (i.e., a set of classes, properties, datatypes, and distinguished individuals) for representing WSDL data. This ontology contains axioms which express some of the constraints the WSDL specification imposes on legal sets of WSDL components whether indirectly (via the XML Schema constraints on the infoset which canonically encodes WSDL component models) or directly (via the natural language of the WSDL specs, or the corresponding Z formalizations of that language).
RDF, RDFS, and OWL are all less (and differently) expressive than the subset of Z used to formalize the WSDL specification, and are designed for different purposes. In a nutshell, RDF, RDFS, and OWL are relatively small fragments of first order logic, whereas Z encompasses all of first order logic plus set theory. Z supports validation of component models, that is, the acceptance or rejection of component models. This includes type checking, consistency checking, and the verification of integrity constraints. The same reasoning applies current set of Semantic Web languages focus on inference and integration of information. To take a simple example, if a Z checkable representation of an Interface component lacks a {name} component property, a Z based validator will complain that that representation is ill formed (given the WSDL specification). An OWL reasoner encountering it will, all other things being equal, conclude that there is such a property, even though the reasoner has not seen it yet. In general, Semantic Web based descriptions of Web services using the WSDL conceptual framework tend to be looser than what the schema WSDL specification prescribes.
This difference effectively introduces two classes of documents included that use the ontology from this document:
This document focuses on the mapping from valid WSDL component models, and imported this section in particular talks about differences between a valid component model and its RDF representation.
However, we must note that arbitrary RDF, RDFS, or OWL documents that use the WSDL ontology may describe component models that are incomplete or even illegal. For example, from the point of view of arbitrary RDF documents that use the WSDL ontology, interfaces don't need to belong to any Description. Therefore, the subsections also contain notes about arbitrary RDF documents detailing further differences that an application consuming WSDL RDF data can encounter in documents that are not the direct result of mapping a valid WSDL document into its RDF form. The last subsection ( section 4.5 ) then describes those constraints unenforced by the WSDL, that do not fit in any other subsection above it.
In the RDF representation, all WSDL components are identified with their respective component designators (see [ WSDL 2.0 Core Language ] appendix C IRI-References for WSDL 2.0 Components ), which are URIs generally constructed from the name and namespace of the component and from its parent component hierarchy. The original names and namespaces are not explicitly modeled in the RDF representation, which intends to convey the semantic meaning of the WSDL component, not the WSDL serialization details.
In some situations we can see the RDF representation to be used as an exchange syntax for WSDL. All While it's not an intended use, it is possible that in some systems the XML syntax will be lost or inaccessibly hidden in several layers of processing software. Such an application that only receives the RDF form of WSDL can still need to reconstruct the original component names, for example if it uses an API that identifies WSDL operations by their parent interface's QName and the operation name.
The component designators put the names
of the components in the fragment identifier part of the resulting
URIs. On the Web (see [ Web Architecture ]),
the interpretation of fragment identifiers is defined by the MIME
media type of the representation of the resource identified by the
URI without the fragment identifier. In our particular case, we
expect that the namespace URI identifies an
application/wsdl+xml
document so that the constructed component
designator fragment identifiers can have their intended meaning. An
application working with the RDF representation of WSDL can
reconstruct the names of the components by reversing the process
that resulted in the component designator, for example for a
URI http://example.com/service#wsdl.interfaceOperation(TicketInterface/BookTicket)
we could reconstruct that the name of the
interface is "TicketInterface" in the namespace
http://example.com/service
and that the operation is named "BookTicket".
Such decomposition is only valid, though,
if the URI http://example.com/service
identifies a document of MIME media type
application/wsdl+xml
,as explained above. Checking the MIME media
type of every resource identified by a URI in an RDF graph could be
prohibitively slow for some applications, therefore it may be
practical (albeit not entirely correct) simply to assume the
correct media type and deconstruct the component names without the
preceding media type check.
Note about arbitrary RDF
documents: in general, it is
possible to assert about any resource (identified by any kind of
URI) that it is, for example, a WSDL operation, and if an
application tries to deconstruct that URI according to WSDL
component designator specification, it may find that the URI
doesn't conform to the syntax (e.g. http://example.com/service/operation)
or, by accident or malice, it does conform
to the syntax but doesn't contain the correct data (e.g.
http://example.com/service#wsdl.interface(TicketInterface)
that is marked to be a WSDL operation, not
an interface as it would seem).
In the XML syntax for WSDL, documents can be included and imported, allowing for modularization while keeping the ability to validate that a WSDL document (plus all the includes and imports) doesn't use any unknown components. Such modularization is lost when the WSDL files are parsed into a component model, therefore a straigtforward transformation of such a component model into RDF will result in a single RDF document.
As one exception, all references to element declarations and type definitions from XML Schema are done deleted text: by QName in the RDF representation by QName and we expect the applications processing this representation to have means of locating the appropriate descriptions for these QNames. We do not model XML Schema (or any other) type and element descriptions in this ontology.
Note about arbitrary RDF documents: RDF data can be split into any number of pieces, which can be put together by the processing application as appropriate. If a piece of WSDL/RDF description uses an unknown component (e.g. an interface described in one document may extend other interfaces, not described in this document), the application may, if necessary, attempt to locate the description of the unknown component, for example using its identifier IRI. Note that RDF does not provide a standard generic way of including external data, so any inclusion is application-specific.
Additionally, a single RDF document may also contain multiple unrelated Descriptions, that is, it may be an aggregation of many unrelated WSDL documents, and this may have unexpected results if the aggregated WSDL data contains conflicts, i.e. different definitions of components with the same name; especially when dealing with different versions of descriptions of the same entities.
: Additionally, certain components in WSDL are only pointers, they only have a single literal property that points to an external thing. For example, the feature component only carries the URI of the feature, and the HTTP Header component only carries an element QName. While these components can contain documentation and extensions in WSDL2, WSDL, we chose to represent these components as direct links from the parent component to the target feature or the element QName, as the indirection seems to add very little value.In certain cases the RDF mapping introduces classes where the
WSDL 2 component model has a property with a limited number of
values. For instance, instead of having a direction property on
message and fault references, with the values either "in" or "out",
we introduce two classes, InputMessage
and
OutputMessage
, and the direction of a particular
message or fault reference is then indicated by belonging to either
of these classes. Similarly, binding types are classes and the type
of a particular binding is indicated by its belonging to that
class; we predefine the two classes for the two bindings that are
part of WSDL 2. Finally, the operation safety property is
represented with the class SafeInteraction
, and safe
operations are instances of this class.
On a similar note, in the case of features, the flag that a
feature is required is not modeled as a property of the feature
component, required features are instead pointed to using the RDF
property requiresFeature
, whereas optional features
are pointed to using the property offersFeature
.
As already mentioned, the validation-oriented WSDL specification and especially its Z formalization capture a number of restrictions and limitations that are not expressed in the RDF ontology. None of these restrictions or limitations can be violated when a valid WSDL document is mapped into its RDF form. When the RDF data is directly manipulated, for example merged with other RDF data (for example other WSDL documents mapped into RDF), or when new data is created that uses the WSDL ontology, further significant WSDL constraints might be violated:

the following are notes on the deviations this model has from the WSDL2 component model: direction - msg ref or fault ref instance of inputmessage or outputmessage feature is a direct reference,

in MEPs are modeled as subclasses of MEP message labels are qualified with mep name and so are different for each MEP maybe we could model safety as general-purpose class of things safe, now it's a
