As Web services cover more and more IT area and the number of their implementation cases increase rapidly, most associates have begun to consider the quality of Web services. They require the framework that helps to evaluate and measure the quality of Web services. OASIS WSQM(Web Services Quality Model) technical committee already published Web Services Quality Model specification version 2.0 in 2006. However, it has been described in conceptually. That is, it contains the model view, classification of quality factors, some activities and associates. So, we need Web services quality description language (WSQDL) shaped in XML. To describe WSQDL schema, we need a new paradigm to represent the Web services quality factors consistently and interoperably. For this we provide the new concept of quality chain in this paper.
