4 Modularizing WSDL descriptions

Modularizing WSDL descriptions

This specification provides two mechanisms, described in this section, for modularizing WSDL descriptions. These mechanisms help to make WSDL descriptions clearer by allowing separation of the various components of a description. Such separation could be performed according to the level of abstraction of a given set of components, or according to the namespace affiliation required of a given set of components or according to some other grouping such as application applicability.

Both mechanisms work at the level of WSDL components and NOT at the level of XML Information Sets or XML 1.0 serializations.
