| | Web Services Description Language (WSDL) Version 1.2 Part 0: Primer |
 | | WSDL 1.2 does not address the problem of Web service discovery, but WSDL 1.2 is intended to be used by discovery mechanisms that provide additional value to a client seeking a particular kind of Web service. |
 | | However, if a Web service description is complete enough to describe the syntax for interacting with the service, and the semantics of the interaction (or at least to unambiguously identify the semantics), then a client will be able to use a potential service regardless of how the service is discovered. |
 | | This section introduces the WSDL 1.2 mechanisms for defining an abstract interface to a Web service, independeint of the specific Web address and transport protocols that are used to implement the Web service. |
