Why Compose Web Services?
Because they are supposed to
more
than just reusable.
A
program
should be able to discover web services
within a namespace, ideally the whole World Wide Web;
understand how to use the services, using as much semantics as necessary; and
use the services to acheive an objective.
In the
ideal
case, the program that does this produces a program (a process) that is simply a sequence of service calls without programmer intervention.
