The USDL aims at providing comprehensive descriptions of business and software services which cover all aspects relevant to support their discovery and combination in the envisioned Internet of Services. In this chapter, we specifically evaluate the expressive power of USDL to specify software services. Based on an analysis of literature on software description requirements and related approaches, we derive a theoretically grounded evaluation framework. This framework is used as a benchmark to evaluate the constructs of the USDL. According to the presented evaluation framework, comprehensive descriptions of software services should cover commercial information, implemented business semantics, technical binding information, and service quality. The evaluation shows that the USDL provides the most detailed approach to date to comprehensively describe software services, which nevertheless should be harmonized in some aspects.
