Abstract
Recently, the software industry has published several proposals for transactional processing in the Web service world. Even though most proposals support arbitrary transaction models, there exists no standardized way to describe such models. This paper describes potential impacts and use cases of utilizing advanced transaction meta‐models in the Web service world and introduces two suitable meta‐models for defining arbitrary advanced transaction models. In order to make these meta‐models more usable in Web service environments, they had to be enhanced, and XML representations of the enhanced models had to be developed.
