Patent attributes
A method, system and/or non-transitory computer readable medium is used with a service repository that stores service definitions for services. A query facility inspects service definitions in the service repository. The query facility determines, from the inspection, first attributes associated with a first service and different second attributes associated with a second service, the first and second attributes being related to syntactic and semantic aspects of the first and second services. Responsive to a service oriented request which indicates the first service, the query facility determines a composability of the first and second services in accordance with a service oriented query (SOQ) framework, based on the first and second attributes and rules regarding composability of attributes, the rules being in accordance with the SOQ framework, the composability of the first and second services being determined with respect to both the syntactic and semantic aspects of the first and second services.
