This paper presents the E,F,I approach for the development of a contextual definition of a Web service. E, F, and I stand for Environment, Feature, and Interaction, respectively. By default, aWeb service resides in an environment E where it acts and reacts. In this environment E, the Web service exposes its features F to peers or other components for awareness and visibility purposes. Finally, the Web service gets engaged with peers in common activities by coordinating their interactions I. The contextual definition of a Web service is established using the components that make up each dimension of the E,F,I approach.
