摘要

On a communication network a server (S2) may have more than one customer (C1,C2) each having different protocols available. A service description of the Web Service Description Language type risks incoherence and is transformed using mark up language to give a first part describing the message and a second part describing format and protocol in separate sections. Independent claims are also included for the following : 1) Method for transforming service description document 2) Method for comparing services in transformed document 3) Equipment for transforming service description document 4) Equipment for comparing services in transformed document 5) Means for storing information from the service description document 6) Computer with means to make transformation of service description document 7) Computer with means to make comparisons between transformed service description documents 8) Communication system with means adapted to transformation of service description document 9) Communication system with means adapted to comparing service description documents 10) Means for storing information including program instructions for transforming service description documents 11) Means for storing information including program instructions for comparing service description documents 12) Computer program to enable a microprocessor to transform service description documents 13) Computer program to enable a microprocessor to compare service description documents
