Well I'll have to pass on web service discovery systems, as I've not given them a great deal of attention. These are the alternatives I've seen mentioned here, and during the initial discussions: 1. Forbid Anything 2. XLink 3. RDF 4. Topic Maps 5. XHTML I don't think (1) will work as I think time has shown that people expect *something* at an NS URI. (2, 3, 4) allow the possibility of human readable documentation to be associated, but is not immediately accessible. i.e. there's an extra software component needed to allow people to get something useful. However they seem flexible solutions for communicating with machines. (4) isn't so good for machines. So, IMO, RDDL offers a reasonable compromise between providing content for both consumers. Not sure if this answers you question satisfactorily. Cheers, L.
