You asked how to describe a service. WSDL does that. So it is a subject 
descriptor (or subject indicator if you prefer). So addressing a service 
can be done using a WSDL file as the subject indicating resource. That 
was my main point. However, if you want to create service description 
semantics it seems to me that starting with the existing service models 
of WSDL (for service interface description) and UDDI (for service meta 
data) would be sensible. It will be interesting to see what the results 
of WSCI are in the area of service description too.

Cheers,

Kal
