Web Services Inspection Language
open-in-new
<p>WS-Inspection is a <a href="/facts/Web_service/qxrwqB3D">Web service</a> specification for "discovery documents" developed in a joint effort by <a href="/facts/Microsoft/nGIDDXdx">Microsoft</a> and <a href="/facts/IBM/QszA7nwd">IBM</a>. WS-Inspection lists groups of web services and their endpoints in an <a href="/facts/XML/clNgUfWk">XML</a> format. Currently, other standards are being used for this purpose, such as Microsoft's DISCO. It is expected[<i>by whom?</i>] that WS-Inspection will eventually replace these standards to become the universally accepted discovery standard for Web services. </p>
