Methods and systems to improve change description information dissemination are described. When an altered version of a distributed data processing service is deployed, information about the altered service is published in a service information registry. The published information includes a link to a natural-language description of the altered service.

System and method for publication of distributed data processing service changes

Distributed data processing systems that provide services at two network addresses have their interfaces described in a published interface description document available at a Uniform Resource Locator ('URL'). The interface description of the second of the services replaces the interface description of the first of the services. Related methods, computer readable media, and systems to benefit from an embodiment of the invention are also described and claimed.

Method and apparatus for mapping an appropriate service version for a client

Differences between two web services are identified and quantified by a set of parameters. Each parameter is drawn from a discrete set of values that describes an aspect of the difference. The set of parameters is provided to a client of the web service.

System and method for assessing web service compatibility

Methods of filtering change notifications to remove irrelevant notifications and transmitting the remaining notifications to a subscriber are described and claimed. Systems and software to implement related methods are also described and claimed.
