Web Services Addressing (WS-Addressing) is a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specification that aids interoperability between Web services by defining a standard way to address Web services and provide addressing information in messages.

Abstract Property name | Property type | Multiplicity | Description |
---|---|---|---|
[address] | xs:anyURI | 1..1 | The absolute URI that specifies the address of the endpoint. |
[reference parameters]* | xs:any | 0..unbounded | Namespace qualified element information items that are required to interact with the endpoint. |
[metadata] | xs:any | 0..unbounded | Description of the behavior, policies and capabilities of the endpoint. |

Abstract WS-Addressing MAP name | MAP content type | Multiplicity | Description |
---|---|---|---|
[action] | xs:anyURI | 1..1 | An absolute URI that uniquely identifies the semantics of the message. This proprety corresponds to the [address] property of the endpoint reference to which the message is addressed. This value is required. |
[destination] | xs:anyURI | 1..1 | The absolute URI that specifies the address of the intended receiver of this message. This value is optional because, if not present, it defaults to the anonymous URI that is defined in the specification, indicating that the address is defined by the underpinning protocol. |
[reference parameters]* | xs:any | 0..unbounded | Correspond to the [reference parameters] property of the endpoint reference to which the message is addressed. This value is optional. |
[source endpoint] | EndpointReference | 0..1 | A reference to the endpoint from which the message originated. This value is optional. |
[reply endpoint] | EndpointReference | 0..1 | An endpoint reference for the intended receiver of replies to this message. This value is optional. |
[fault endpoint] | EndpointReference | 0..1 | An endpoint reference for the intended receiver of faults relating to this message. This value is optional. |
[relationship]* | xs:anyURI plus optional attribute of type xs:anyURI | 0..unbounded | A pair of values that indicate how this message relates to another message. The content of this element conveys the [message id] of the related message. An optional attribute conveys the relationship type. This value is optional. |
[message id] | xs:anyURI | An absolute URI that uniquely identifies the message. This value is optional. |
