Web Services Flow Language (WSFL) is a language for the description of Web Services compositions. WSFL considers two types of Web Services compositions:
- The appropriate usage pattern of a collection of Web Services, in such a way that the resulting composition describes how to achieve a particular business goal; typically, the result is a description of a business process
- The interaction pattern of a collection of Web Services; in this case, the result is a description of the overall partner interactions
WSFL uses WSDL (new window) for the description of service interfaces and their protocol bindings. WSFL also relies on the Web Services Endpoint Language (WSEL) (new window).
