Abstract
The disclosure provides generally systems and methods for efficiently providing or managing dynamic files involving discovery of web services. Example software for dynamic web service discovery is operable to identify a first web service associated with a first entity. The software may be further operable to identify a second web service associated with a second entity and to store information associated with the first and second web services in an extensible file. This file often comprises a hierarchical data structure associated with a plurality of web services. In another aspect, a computer implemented method presents a hierarchical file to a plurality of remote clients over a network, with the hierarchical file storing information associated with a plurality of web services. The method may further include communicating information associated with at least one web service based on an HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) request from one of the clients.
