The present invention relates to distributed systems in which resource utilisation decisions depend upon the semi-automatic categorisation of resource descriptions stored in the distributed system. In the principal embodiment, the resource descriptions are web service descriptions which are augmented with tags (i.e. descriptive words or phrases) entered by users and/or by web service administrators. The initial use of automatic categorisation of these descriptions, followed by a user-driven fine-tuning of the automatically-generated categories enables the rapid creation of reliable categorisation of the resource descriptions, which in turns results in better resource utilisation decisions and hence a more efficient use of the resources of the distributed system.
