Abstract: A coming together of the technological networks that connect computers on the internet and the social networks that link humans for millennia has been observed in the past few decades. Even as this has led to the changes in the styles of communication, the media has also remained governed by long standing principles of human social interaction. Web-based collaborations have become vital in today’s business environments. They have paved the way for new type of collaborative system. As collaborative Web-based platforms develop into service oriented architectures (SOA), they promote mixed user enriched services. Due to the availability of various SOA frameworks, Web services emerged as the de facto technology to realize flexible compositions of services. Knowledge-intensive environments clearly demand for provisioning of human expertise along with sharing of computing resources or business data through software-based services. To address the challenges, an adaptive approach allowing humans to provide their expertise through services using SOA standards, such as Web Services Description Language (WSDL) and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is introduced. The seamless integration of humans in the SOA loop triggers numerous social implications, such as evolving expertise and drifting interests of human service providers.
