Ecma International, Geneva, has published several new Computer Supported Telecommunications Applications (CSTA) standards, including a call-control Web services specification.
Ecma-348 provides a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) specification for CSTA, according to Ecma, formerly known as the European Computer Manufacturers Association. WSDL is an XML schema describing everything that an application needs to communicate with a Web service. Ecma-348 builds upon the features of Ecma-269, 5th edition -- CSTA Services.
"Ecma-348 … enables the use of integrated software development environments, which are off the shelf tools, unlocking the vast potential of Web services programmers already familiar with XML," Onno Elzinga, Ecma's CTO, said in a statement "It complements and uses the XML schema definitions of Ecma-323 and enables the use of other Internet protocols such as SOAP, TCP and HTTP."
