Abstract

See full text

A method (and apparatus) for adapting an input parameter, for dynamically invoking target Web services, and for adapting output results, includes receiving an invocation request including an input parameter in a first format. A semantic information representation module MetaWSDL (Meta Web Service Description Language), wherein the MetaWSDL includes a universal XML (eXtended Markup Language) representation which includes semantic information of a Web service method signature, is retrieved from a memory. A MetaWSDL processor is invoked to adapt the input parameter to a second format using the retrieved MetaWSDL. The target Web services are dynamically invoked, using the adapted parameter in the second format, and the output result in the first format is adapted to the second format, using the MetaWSDL.
