Web服务预计将促进专家网络的创建，这些网络通过互联网公开他们的数字服务，以便其他组织动态发现服务。鉴于这一愿景，问题就出现了：未来是否以及如何交易Web服务。基于对商业Web服务目录和注册中心的纵向研究，本文分析了市场结构、中介机构的作用和Web服务的提供。该研究表明，Web服务市场面临着一个相当缓慢的发展，在2006年有一个重大的震荡。最近，由于商业Web服务专家的出现和Web服务目录的重新启动，可以观察到越来越专业化。本文对未来的市场发展得出结论，并讨论了与新的面向mashup的服务目录的类比。
Web services are expected to foster the creation of networks of specialists which expose their digital services over the internet for the dynamic discovery of services by other organizations. Given this vision, the question arises whether and how Web services will be traded in the future. Based on a longitudinal study of commercial Web services directories and registries, this paper analyzes the market structure, the role of intermediaries and the Web services offering. The study suggests that the Web services market faces a rather slow evolution with a significant shakeout in 2006. More recently, an increasing professionalization can be observed given that commercial Web services specialists emerge and Web services directories are relaunched. The paper draws conclusions on the future market development and discusses analogies to the newer mashup-oriented service directories.
